Okay, let’s talk about this little experiment I did today – biscuits with mustard. Yeah, you heard that right. I know, it sounds a bit weird, but hey, I’m always up for trying new food combos. It all started when I was craving something savory and I had some leftover biscuits in the fridge. Normally, I’d just slap some butter on them or maybe some jam, but today, I was feeling adventurous.
Making the Biscuits
First things first, I needed to get those biscuits ready. I grabbed them from the fridge and preheated my oven. While the oven was heating up, I figured I should make an egg wash. I just grabbed an egg, cracked it into a bowl, added a little bit of water, and whisked it all together. Simple enough.
Then, I took each biscuit and brushed the tops with that egg wash. I’d heard somewhere that this gives them a nice golden-brown color when they bake. We’ll see if that’s true.
The Mustard Experiment Begins
Now for the star of the show – the mustard. I’ve got a few different kinds in my fridge: classic yellow, spicy brown, and even some fancy Dijon. I decided to go with the classic yellow for this experiment. You know, keep it simple for the first try. I took a biscuit and spread a thin layer of yellow mustard on it.
- First bite: Hmm, interesting. The tanginess of the mustard definitely cuts through the buttery flavor of the biscuit. It’s not bad, but it’s not exactly a match made in heaven either.
- Second bite: Okay, I’m starting to get used to it. The texture of the soft biscuit with the slightly sharp mustard is kind of growing on me.
Adding Some Cheese (Because Why Not?)
Then I thought, what if I added some cheese? Cheese makes everything better, right? I had some cheddar in the fridge, so I grated some and sprinkled it on top of the mustard-covered biscuit. Back into the oven it went, just for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
Okay, now we’re talking! The melted cheddar adds a whole new level of flavor. It’s like a savory, cheesy, tangy explosion in my mouth. I even tried it with a little diced ham, too, and honestly, it felt just about perfect. The combination of the mustard, cheddar, and ham with the biscuit is actually pretty darn good.
Final Thoughts
So, would I recommend biscuits with mustard? Maybe. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you’re feeling adventurous and want to try something different, give it a shot. The combination of mustard and cheese on a biscuit is surprisingly tasty. And honestly I think I will try to match more different cheeses like stilton, brie or camembert. And maybe next time I will try a different type of mustard or put some jelly, jam, or honey on the biscuit, too.
It’s all about experimenting and finding what you like. Who knows, you might discover your new favorite snack. Or, you might just end up sticking with butter and jam. Either way, it’s a fun little food adventure. I’m glad I tried it, and who knows what other weird food combos I’ll come up with next!
