Soft Dijon mustard is a great addition to sandwiches with meat products, fish and vegetables. It goes well with any type of bread and can be successfully substituted for butter, mayonnaise and other fatty sauces. In addition, mustard stimulates the appetite, so that sandwiches will seem even more delicious with it.
Features of taste and best combinations
Dijon mustard has a delicate creamy texture and a pleasant, moderately pungent taste with sweetish notes. This type of seasoning is widely used in the preparation of sauces, salad dressings, hot meat and fish dishes. It is also irreplaceable for sandwiches. Dijon mustard can be mixed with butter, jam, grated horseradish, sour cream, or used alone. Based on classic recipes, it's easy to come up with your own, combining a variety of products and achieving unexpected flavor combinations.
When making sandwiches, try not to use too many ingredients. Sweetish-spicy mustard harmonizes well with salty, sour, sweet foods.
Salmon sandwiches
Such sandwiches can be made on any bread: wheat, grain, bran or rye. If desired, the slices of bread can be dried in a toaster or oven.
Cut Borodino bread into thin even slices. Brush each one with Dijon mustard, lay a thin plastic of smoked or slightly salted salmon on top. Place thin slices of fresh cucumber on top. If you prefer a brighter flavor, substitute pickled cucumbers for fresh cucumbers. Decorate the sandwich with thin slices of peeled and seedless lemon and a sprig of parsley.
Bacon sandwiches
These sandwiches have a pleasant, albeit unusual taste. Strengthen the sweetness of the mustard with jam, and emphasize its sharpness with grated horseradish sauce. Moderately fat toasted bacon goes well with this set.
Prepare the sauce by mixing 1 tbsp. a spoonful of freshly grated horseradish, 3 tbsp. tablespoons of Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam or jam. Cut the white loaf into thin slices and dry them in the toaster. Spread the mustard mixture on the bread. Cut the bacon into thin slices. Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the bacon in it until crisp. Place a couple of slices on each piece of bread, garnish with parsley.
Hot sandwiches with cheese and onions
Try making interesting sandwiches with a savory cheese and onion filling. They can be baked in a grill or a special sandwich maker, but sandwiches brown very quickly in a regular pan.
Peel the large onion and cut into thin rings. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the onion in it until golden brown. Place it on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Lightly butter the slices of white toast bread and brown until golden brown. Brush the back of the bread with Dijon mustard and add 1 to 2 slices of semi-hard cheese, a couple of slices of pickled cucumber and a few onion rings. Cover the structure with another toasted slice of mustard-spread bread. Put the prepared sandwiches in a hot pan and wait until the cheese begins to melt. Serve the sandwiches hot.
