Arrange
Lay the 2 slices of sourdough on a wooden board. Slather them thickly with the 2 tablespoons of room temperature butter so it melts into the bread. Slice the 60g of sharp cheddar or aged gouda and lay it alongside the bread. Add a small bunch of red grapes and a few cornichons or dill pickles to fill the gaps. There are no rules here, just arrange by color and texture and enjoy the contrast of creamy butter, sharp cheese, and briny pickles.
Slop Notes
The original Olivia Maher TikTok that started the whole trend. Use the best butter you can find because it matters here.
