# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a pastry shop creation but requires zero baking skills or special equipment.
  • The whole thing comes together while your coffee is still hot, making mornings feel intentional instead of rushed.
  • Those layers of creamy, sweet, and salty create a surprisingly complete flavor that keeps you satisfied for hours.
02 -
  • Cold pistachio butter won't spread without dragging the bread to shreds—either let it sit out for a few minutes or warm the spreading knife under hot water first.
  • The quality of your pistachio butter makes a bigger difference than you'd think; natural butter with just pistachios and maybe salt will taste completely different than heavily processed versions.
03 -
  • Chop your pistachios the night before and keep them in a small jar—then assembling breakfast becomes genuinely effortless, which sometimes is the difference between eating well and eating whatever's easy.
  • If you find yourself making this multiple times a week, buy pistachio butter in bulk; it keeps for months and costs way less than making it twice at cafés.
