When you work for the best butter company in America, what do you do on a Friday afternoon during late Summer? Why, experiment with compound butter in the #butterlab, of course!
Our goal: to create a delicious dish with our Creekside Creamery™ Lemon Dill Chef’s Roll that is simple to prepare and tantalizes the taste buds. We think we’ve found it with our Lemon Dill Tuna Melt. What could be a better than English Muffin Bread, covered with Lemon Dill compound butter and toasted crisp, topped with tuna salad and placed under the broiler, then finished with a slice of Swiss Cheese and a slice of fresh tomato from the garden? The mild, warm flavor of dill pairs perfectly with the fresh, clean taste of lemon, complementing the tuna salad for a light, open-faced sandwich that’s easy to make and delicious.
