Beurre noir ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}; Template:Langx) is melted butter that is cooked over low heat until the milk solids turn a very dark brown.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> As soon as this happens, acid is carefully added to the hot butter, usually lemon juice or a type of vinegar.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Some recipes also add a sprig of parsley, which is removed from the hot butter before the acid is added. It is typically served with eggs, fish, or certain types of vegetables. National Brown Butter day is held on September 22nd.
