Egg Butter

Creamy, rich, and delightfully simple — egg butter is a comforting spread made with hard-boiled eggs and butter, perfect for slathering on toast, rye bread, or crackers.

Origin Egg Butter

Egg butter, or munavoi, is a traditional Finnish spread often served with rye bread or on top of Karelian pasties (karjalanpiirakka). It’s a staple in Nordic cuisine, especially during holidays and family gatherings.
