Another quick and easy French Fridays with Dorie recipe.
Mustard batons are simply dijon mustard on puff pastry that is finished with a dusting of seeds. Dorie's recipe called for poppy seeds but I decided to use some black sesame seeds. I went easy on the mustard but would have been happy with more.
These were delicious and would be perfect for a fancy cocktail party or a casual get together. I loved this technique and immediately started thinking of other combinations; honey and mustard, mango chutney, pimento cheese... The options are endless.
Around My French Table is full of easy recipes like this that make cooking accessible, and more importantly, joyful. Check out the rest of the French Fridays with Dories group, here.

ReplyDeleteWhat a smart recipe! Love the idea.
ReplyDeleteThis one was so easy, but so good & definitely lends itself to change ups! Mango chutney... Hmmmm.

ReplyDeleteI used black sesame seeds too. I found some Gomo Shio which is black sesame seeds with salt and sugar crystals. The options are endless.
ReplyDeleteI used white sesame on some and caraway on the others. Boy I liked that caraway...but it is all good :) Nana and I loved the mustard recipe and can't wait to play around with more variations. Right after we finish all the Easter goodies....
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there are black seseme seeds! They look great!
ReplyDeleteThose look great - black sesame seeds were a good choice. I love your chutney idea, too.
ReplyDeleteSesame seeds are way more flavorful than poppy seeds. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteThat looks yummy and I'll keep it in mind for the next time I have extra puff to use up.
