This week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe was for this quick, simple puff pastry treat. It can be served as an appetizer, or as a side, like bread. We served it as a side with Risotto. I’m not including the Risotto because it was a clean-out-the-fridge meal with Chicken, Mushrooms, and Brie that was delicious, but does not lend itself to repetition – aren’t those the most surprising meals sometimes?
Dorie mentioned using mustard with a strong flavor, so we used this Vineyard Pantry Blue Cheese Dijon. I added Sesame Seeds and Poppy Seeds. This snack is as quick to throw together as it is impressive!
Enjoy!

Gorgeous, flaky batons, Susan!!!
Those look really great! I’m sure it was wonderful as a side.
Sounds like a great side to risotto! & that mustard sounds interesting.
Your batons make me hungry for more. Nice photos.
I’ve been seeing lots of blue cheese mustards in the FFwD posts this week – I need to get myself to a gourmet shop ASAP! Your batons look perfect!
Nice looking batons, I liked this recipe and will make again for a dinner party;-)
They MAKE BLUE CHEESE DIJON????!!! Why hasn’t anyone told me of this?!! Wow. I must find me some!
I’ve never heard of blue cheese mustard, but it sounds interesting. We ate the batons as a snack and along with a salad for lunch. Yum!
We used the Maille blue cheese dijon and loved it. Nana and I are big mustard fans so this was a huge hit in our homes – we would have liked it even if it was more complicated to prepare (but were thrilled that is was so easy 🙂 And your risotto sounded great – fridge cleaner or not !
Nice choices! They look beautiful and the pastry puffed beautifully.
