Ingredients

Method

1
Remove the butter from the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature until it is pliable and spreadable, approximately 30 to 45 minutes before beginning.
40 minutes
2
Place the eggs in a small saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to hard-boil them.
12 minutes
3
Transfer the hard-boiled eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool completely, then peel them carefully.
10 minutes
4
Halve each egg and remove the yolks, placing them into a fine-mesh sieve or bowl; discard or reserve the egg whites for another use.
3 minutes
5
Press the yolks through the fine-mesh sieve or mash them thoroughly with a fork until no lumps remain and the texture is smooth and powdery.
5 minutes
6
Add the softened butter to the sieved egg yolks and work them together vigorously with a fork or wooden spoon, or beat with a hand mixer, until the mixture is completely homogeneous, smooth, and fluffy.
5 minutes
7
Season generously with salt to taste, mixing well to distribute it evenly throughout the spread.

Transfer the yellow butter to a small serving dish or ramekin, smooth the surface, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow it to firm slightly.
