“Let’s take butter up a notch in flavour! Try this recipe at least once and I promise you will not regret it. Beurre noisette (brown butter) has a deep, rich, nutty flavour that remind me of caramel. A block or two of browned butter can be used to cook eggs, add to your baking, or melt over cooked vegetables, like I did on my Brown-buttered Brussels Sprouts. And more good news: since you are essentially removing the milk solids from the butter (when you strain it through the muslin / cheesecloth), so this browned butter is even lower in carbs than regular butter (in fact, its zero carbs). If you love it (and I know you will), make a larger batch next time.” – Monya

More on Beurre Noisette (Brown Butter)…
Beurre noisette, also known as browned butter, is a classic French culinary preparation made by heating butter until it turns a rich golden-brown colour and develops a nutty aroma. This process involves melting the butter and then continuing to cook it until the water content evaporates and the milk solids caramelise. The result is a flavourful and aromatic browned butter that adds depth and a unique nutty taste to a variety of dishes.

Browned butter can be a delicious addition to many keto-friendly recipes. It can enhance the taste of both sweet and savoury dishes. It pairs well with vegetables, meats, seafood, and desserts, making it a versatile ingredient in keto cooking.
One of the primary goals of a keto diet is to limit carbohydrate intake. Browned butter contains almost no carbohydrates, which makes it suitable for keto recipes without significantly impacting your daily carb allowance. Butter is also a source of healthy fats, including saturated fats and monounsaturated fats. These fats can be beneficial for those following a keto diet, as they provide a source of energy and satiety.
While the butter loses some of its water-soluble vitamins during the browning process, it retains its fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. These vitamins are essential for overall health and can complement the nutrient profile of a keto diet.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Beurre Noisette / Browned Butter
Per serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 g (3.5 oz) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small pan over moderate heat.
- Keep an eye on it, you will see it starts foaming. You will soon notice a delicious caramel, nutty aroma and the butter will start browning.
- Before the milk solids (that have separated and sunk) start burning and ruining the batch, remove the pan from the heat and strain the melted mixture through muslin or cheesecloth into a bowl. Discard the muslin containing the foam and browned milk solids.
- Pour the mixture into a suitably sized tray or wide-bottomed bowl, then place in the fridge for several hours to set. Slice the browned butter into handy little blocks (approx. 10g / 0.4oz pieces) for easy use, like I have done in the pic.
- You will yield approximately (80g / 2.8oz) butter after removing the milk solids and the macros are calculated per 10g / 0.4oz per little browned-butter block.
Macros were calculated per 10g (0.4oz) block, so portion accordingly once the butter has set. You are then free to grab-and-go with ease when cooking... * A new-and-improved version of this delicious recipe features in my cookbook BUDGET KETO KITCHEN.
