Smoked Salmon With Cognac Caraway Mayonnaise And Toasted French Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, milk, and herbes de Provence together in a shallow bowl.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, dip bread in egg mixture, turning once to coat bread completely. Transfer coated bread to prepared skillet and cook in hot butter until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer toasted bread to a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
• Cook and stir spinach in the same skillet until slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Spread cream cheese onto 2 slices of toasted bread. Top each with spinach and smoked salmon, and place remaining slices of bread on top.

Steps:

• Slice 1 loaf seven-grain bread 1/4 inch thick; cut each slice into thirds. Toast the bread on a grill pan over high heat, then transfer to a cutting board, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Top each piece with a slice of tomato, then spread with honey mustard. Top with smoked salmon and more mustard; sprinkle with pepper and fresh dill.

Steps:

• With a mortar and pestle or in an electric spice grinder grind caraway seeds fine and in a small bowl stir together with mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, and Cognac.
• Arrange salmon on a cutting board or platter and garnish with dill sprigs and lemon wedges. Serve salmon, sliced thin, with mayonnaise and French bread.
