Beurre noisette

Description

Beurre noisette is a rich brown sauce with a slightly nutty flavor, often used for making desserts and pastries. It is usually a welcome addition to various main courses, especially those with seafood. The sauce is also known as brown butter or hazelnut butter , although it contains no hazelnuts. It is made by melting and browning (ideally, unsalted) butter for a precise period of time, otherwise it would burn and become inedible. Beurre noisette is commonly poured over vegetables or pasta dishes, but it also imparts a toasty flavor to pastries and helps them bake and brown evenly.
