What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Cheerful Choices: Braunschweiger Swiss Bagel! Either you love braunschweiger, or you don’t. Personally, I like to think of it as French patè. Then again, I’m a Francophile. Sometimes I choose to blend braunschweiger with creamy, soft Neufchâtel cheese so I can smear it over a crusty baguette. The slightly smoky flavor goes well with a glass of red wine, especially at the end of the day. The secret to enjoying braunschweiger is to find a brand that appeals to your palate. For me, I prefer a brand that comes from Germany. It seems to be made from high-quality ingredients and never disappoints.
BRAUNSCHWEIGER SWISS BAGEL
Ingredients:
1 egg bagel, sliced horizontally
2 ounces braunschweiger
1 slice Swiss cheese
1 red onion ring, thinly sliced
Fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions:
Lightly toast egg bagel. Place half of the Swiss cheese on bottom portion of bagel. Spread braunschweiger over top. Add remaining half of Swiss cheese. Top with thinly sliced red onion ring. Warm slightly for 10 seconds in microwave. Garnish with fresh dill. Serve immediately.
I’m not sure about the onion but it sounds good otherwise.

It depends on the day (and time of day for me). 🤔

Bagels freeze well, in case you buy a “baker’s dozen”. 🥯

I use to buy liverwurst in those little cans and Gene would spread it on crackers. I think I made sandwiches too from a log and a slice of red onion was essential for us 🙂

I don’t recall ever seeing it in a can. I’m sure it’s convenient to keep in the pantry. 🤔

I just “googled” it and you can still buy it in cans. Very convenient pantry item 🙂

Crazy as this sounds, now that I moved to Florida, it might be a good idea to have that (and a can of Spam) in my pantry during hurricane season.

Never had it, but I’ll try anything at least once. And similar to pate, works for me.

Make sure you have a crusty baguette, a bottle of wine, fresh strawberries, a wedge of warm Brie, and some smoked almonds. Now that’s a meal! 🥖🍷🧀🍓😍
