# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes but tastes like you spent an hour in the kitchen.
  • The nutty depth of pistachio paired with honey's gentle sweetness hits that perfect sweet-savory balance.
  • You can make it with ingredients you probably already have, and it feels indulgent anyway.
02 -
  • Room-temperature pistachio butter spreads more smoothly than cold butter from the fridge, so pull it out while your bread toasts.
  • The salt on top isn't a garnish—it's what makes your brain actually register the pistachio flavor instead of just tasting sweetness.
03 -
  • Make your own pistachio butter by blending roasted pistachios in a food processor for five minutes—it's cheaper and tastes fresher than store-bought.
  • If your pistachio butter is very thick, stir in a tiny bit of neutral oil to loosen it before spreading.
