Jajka w Sosie Musztardowym
Hard-boiled eggs prepared in a creamy, tangy mustard sauce, making for a substantial starter.
Why This Works

Sides the kitchen recommends alongside this dish.
Side Dish
Radish Salad
Thinly slice fresh radishes and toss with chives for a peppery bite that cuts through the creamy mustard sauce.
Ingredients
Directions
Whisk the crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a large bowl until smooth.
Using a mandoline, slice radishes into paper-thin rounds to ensure a delicate texture.
Add the radish slices to the dressing and toss gently to coat each piece evenly.
Fold in three-quarters of the minced chives.
Season with flaky sea salt just before plating to prevent the radishes from losing their crispness.
Garnish with the remaining chives and serve immediately alongside the eggs.
Side Dish
Whole Wheat Toast
Provide toasted crusty bread to absorb the tangy sauce and add a hearty element to the starter.
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven broiler to high.
Arrange the bread slices on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
Lightly brush both sides of each slice with softened butter.
Toast under the broiler for 2 minutes per side until deeply golden and crisp.
Remove from the heat and immediately rub one side of each slice with the raw garlic clove.
Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt and serve warm.

Really enjoyed this. I'd add a touch more acid next time, but very solid.
