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.
Just the bagel and cheese plus salad its would be perfect for me, Gail!

Scrape that pâté off the plate and scoot it over to mine. 😜

Growing up in New York, I was introduced to chopped liver and lox on a bagel and it spoiled me. So this spread is right up my alley.

I’d have to add more onion, otherwise perfect.

I don’t see a lot of recipes calling for braunschweiger, so this was nice surprise. There’s something about crisp onions and braunschweiger…kind of like peanut butter and jelly. They’re made for each other. Thanks for the idea!

You are so right. Add warm Brie, a toasted baguette, glad of wine, and patè. What more could you ask for…..except flowers! 💐 🌸🌺🌼
