If you are looking for one of the easiest hors d’oeuvres ever, then look no further than Mustard Bâtons. Not only are they dead easy, they’re dead tasty, too. Take some ready-made puff-pastry, smear it with strong Dijon mustard and fold it over to encase the mustard. Then cut it into strips, eggwash and sprinkle with seeds or salt or pepper or whatever and bake until golden, crispy and flaky. Voilà! Enjoy with a glass of wine.

For the recipe, see Around my French Table by Dorie Greenspan (it’s also here on Dorie’s site). Don’t forget to check out my fellow francophiles’ posts!

I really liked these. They were so easy to make too, especially after last week’s many-stepped eclairs!

Yours turned out simply lovely – what a great photo ! Nana and I had fun with this simple and delish recipe. Since we are both fans of mustard AND puff pastry – we knew this was a keeper before we even tried it. And it did not disappoint. We will definitely be revisiting “page 15” and trying many different variations on this one as well. Another successful French Friday…
