Why Maille Mustard

We are big fans of Maille Mustard! Actually, it was KR who got me hooked onto it a couple of years ago, and ever since we always have a jar in our fridge. That's why working with Maille is always fun! 

Maille products are low fat, low in calories and the brand has a long history of keeping people healthy while adding a lot of flavors.

I love the taste and the fact that it’s creamy  – makes it so easy to use in sandwiches! Dijon Mustard gets its name from the town of Dijon, France. 

A long time ago, someone used the juice of unripe grapes to create the mustard paste (instead of vinegar). This lends the resulting mustard a bit of spicy tartness.

Maille®‎ products can truly transform simple recipes into delicious food experiences and cooking with them is exciting!

It's interesting to know that from Dijon Originale mustard to Cornichons, Maille®‎ has a rich heritage starting in 1747. If you want to know about Maille, you can check their website.

We love to add Maille Mustard to our sandwiches, and burgers. In fact, I have also used Maille Mustard in some unique recipes like Chilli Paneer Dry, Alfredo Mustard Pasta Bake, and Mustard Rice.

For this recipe, I have used the Maille Dijon Originale Mustard because the smooth and creamy texture is just what I need here. Plus the crisp, tart-and-tangy flavor works best for this recipe.

Maille Mustard is easily available in all leading grocery stores or you can also order from Amazon.

Mixed Veggies - Grated carrots and finely chopped onions along with bell peppers are the veggies I have used. Feel free to add or skip some based on your availability. Lettuce greens are needed while building the sandwich. 

Seasonings - Italian seasonings, red pepper flakes, freshly crushed black pepper, cilantro, and salt (only add if needed) help balance all the flavors. 

Cheese - I like to use cheese that melts well so I have used swiss cheese. But you can use any cheese available to you.

Top recipe tips 💭

You can definitely add more veggies of your choice. Throw in some greens like spinach, kale or beet leaves too in this cream cheese sandwich recipe to make it more wholesome! 

Instead of cream cheese, you can also use sour cream or Greek Yogurt. They all will pair well with mustard sauce. Make these sandwiches with whatever bread you have. You can use leftover bread too!

Smear a layer of green chutney or pesto sauce on the bread slices before adding the veggie mixture for more flavor. 

If you like a cheese pull, use either Colby, Havarti, Swiss, Fontina, Monterey Jack, Provolone, or even Smoked Gouda.

You can also use a Panini Maker instead of a Grill Pan to make these grilled vegetarian sandwiches.
