Best Open Faced Braunschweiger Melts Recipes

ULTIMATE TUNA MELTS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, flake the tuna finely with a fork. Add the celery, scallions, and dill, and continue mixing and fluffing with the fork until combined. Add the lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Combine the mayonnaise and anchovy paste, if using, and mix into the tuna.
• Preheat the broiler. Toast the bread in a toaster and place the slices in a single layer on a sheet pan. Spread a quarter of the tuna mixture thickly and evenly on each piece of bread, covering the entire slice. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on the 4 sandwiches, covering the tuna completely. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and starts to brown. (Watch it carefully!) Sprinkle with the microgreens and serve hot.

• Place bages halves cut side up on a baking sheet.
• Top each with two tomato slices and 2 bacon strips.

BRAUNSCHWEIGER II

Steps:

• Cook liver in simmering water for 10 minutes then chill before grinding.
• Grind all meat through 3/16 plate. Chill in freezer for 30 minute.
• Chop in blender or food processor. This sounds a lot easier than it is as you can only do about half a cup at a time. Commercial sausage kitchens use a machine called a chopper but we have to make due with what we have. The idea is to produce what is known as an emulsion. This process is also required for hot dogs, bologna and other sausages where a homogeneous texture is required.
• Stuff in beef middles.
• Place the sausage in a 165 degree F water for about one hour to internal temp of 152°F.
• Chill in cold water.
• Liver Sausage: Store in fridge for about a day before eating. Keeps for several weeks in fridge.
• Braunschweiger: Dry in smoker at 100F, then smoke for 5 hrs at 120°F.
