Headstart Gourmet Compound Butters
Some of you may remember that time I gave some canned tuna a fancy pants makeover. That was fun. And delicious. And made possible by a little help from Headstart Gourmet’s compound butter.
With flavors like Raspberry Honey Mustard Beurre Rouge, Lemon Thyme Garlic Beurre Blanc, and Spicy Orange Creole to choose from, here’s your chance at a fancy pants makeover of your own!
Each tub of compound butter contains half a bottle of wine, resulting in an intensely rich flavor. The beauty of this product is that it can be used in a variety of ways: use as a spread to spruce up sandwiches or hors d’oeuvres, melt into a quick sauce, or simply dollop on top of hot food to add a gourmet finish.
Some ways to enjoy your butta:
- Add Raspberry Honey Mustard Beurre Rouge to mushrooms and onions as they sauté (mmm imagine a juicy pork chop smothered in this)
- Spread Lemon Thyme Garlic Beurre Blanc on top of crostini and top with smoked salmon and capers for a classic and simple hors d’oeuvre
- Place Beurre Blanc under the skin of chicken before baking (I would top with bread crumbs too for an extra crispy skin)
- Gently Melt Spicy Orange Creole into a sauce and pour over shrimp and grits (or this recipe for Hominy Shrimp looks delish)
- Spread Spicy Orange Creole on corn on the cob for some extra kick at your next BBQ
- Make Orange Creole Tuna Cakes! Still a fave.

Spicy Orange Creole would go right on some hot cornbread, and the Raspberry Honey Mustard would be oh so sweet on a grilled pork chop.

A loaf of warm, freshly baked bread + Lemon Thyme Garlic Beurr Blanc = happy me! I’m so easy to please . . .
I would smoke some trout and top it with the Lemon Thyme Garlic Beurre Blanc. Yum!
These would go great with freshly homemade warm bread! YUM!!!
Raspberry Honey Mustard Buerre Rouge – Would baste a boneless pork tenderloin that has been stuffed with an assortment of wild mushrooms and dried raspberries. Making sure to sear first, I would then wrap the loin in puff pastry and bake. Deglaze the pan from searing and drizzle over the pork encroute. Now I’m hungry!
Mmmmmm, besides thickly slathered on a slice of hot fresh homemade bread? How about some rasberry honey mustard beurre rouge used to make a butter cream sauce served over grilled chicken and rice?

i love butter and rice…it’s the paula deen side of this gal.
How about some spicy orange creole on lamb? Wow those combinations sound fabulous.

I would make a shrimp po’boy and spread the butter on the bread!
That lemon thyme buerre blanc would be heaven on asparagus…even if they’re really no longer in season!
I would use them to saute veggies, cook my meats, and just on a good slice of home baked bread
I would so love to have that compound butter in my fridge! I bet it would go so well with some many things such as cornbread, veggies, meats etc
My brother would love experimenting with this stuff. Maybe we can christen our new kitchen with a tasty dish accentuated with some of this delicious compound butter from Headstart Gourmet.
I bet the red wine would would be great on top of some good steaks.
Hi, Sammy Love here from SF, first time caller long time listener(j/k). Raspberry Honey Mustard Beurre Rouge with lamb for sure but, if I had my choice…………. I may go brunch style with the Lemon Thyme Garlic Beurre Blanc (spread or grilled)on thick cut toast made from homemade bread w/ a couple of poached eggys on top. Smoked salmon(from the fish lady at the ferry building) or a baby field greens salad(depends on the day) and a couple of spicy bloody marys(the perfect bloody mary will be good enough). With or without the Beurre I think I know what I’m having this Sunday.
Congratulations!!! I will send out your Spotlight Sampler on Monday! Get ready for brunch next weekend. Your ideas sounded perfect. You can check out more recipes on our website http://www.headstartgourmet.com
wow that sounds like my dream brunch!
I would simply spread the Lemon Thyme Garlic Beurre Blanc on french bread and toast it for a few minutes and pair it with my favorite bottle of white wine
Butter, butter, butter.
I don’t care what anyone says. It doesn’t matter what flavor of compound butter. I’m gonna go Paula Deen on my dishes and dumping a pound of butter into each of them!
go girl! you USE that buttah
Ohhh… I’m thinking of risotto!
I would use the Lemon Thyme Garlic Beurre Blanc as a finishing sauce for some crawfish ravioli. Right before serving them I would add a nob in bowl with the crawfish and flash it under the broiler, and top it with some Parmesan.
The spicy orange creole would go great with some roasted chicken. as a baste . Save some extra on the side mix it with heavy cream, and some broth and serve with grilled asparagus and roasted potatoes.
On I could just rub it all over my wife and ………………….. Well you know the rest.
i see……butter may be the new aphrodisiac…
