Salted Butter Break Ups

What can I say....I am a sucker for butter and sugar. These quirky little beauties are essentially butter and sugar at their simplest, and the addition of kosher salt was inspired.

I used salted butter (who am I kidding, that is what I always use...) for these cookies in addition to the kosher salt, and I though the salt level was perfect.

I've also noticed a trend with these French recipes. The savory ones are hit or miss for me, but the sweet ones.....divine!

Savory Cheese & Chive Bread

I have never had a savory quick bread before, only sweet, so this was an interesting turn of events. The bread was like a big savory cross between a muffin and a biscuit.

I did not like that the recipe was vague on the salt. I am sorry, but I have no idea of the salt level of the different cheeses. I used Gruyere, and I only used 1/2 tsp of salt. It was not enough. However, it was still good paired with the soup I made to go with it.

The next day, the bread was even better! If I were to made this again, I would probably use a more flavorful cheese, and eat it the next day.
