Limburger cheese has traditionally been served within a pungent sandwich.
Limburger cheese, that aromatic, flavorful classic dairy product, originated in Belgium and can now be found in every corner of the globe. Limburger is a surface-ripened pungent cheese with a distinctive, creamy flavor. Traditionally it is served on rye bread with red onion and mustard. While this sandwich is not for the faint of heart, it pairs well with a cold beer on a hot summer day.
Instructions
1. Cut two thick slices of rye bread and place on a flat, clean surface such as a plate or countertop. Spread an even layer of Dijon mustard on both pieces of rye bread.
2. Prepare the red onion. Cut off one end of the onion and peel off the outer layer of onion skin. Cut a quarter-inch thick round of onion with a sharp blade. Cut the round in half.
3. Lay the onion pieces evenly on one piece of the rye bread, covering the surface of the bread.
4. Use a clean knife to cut half-inch-thick slices of Limburger cheese. Place two or three slices of the Limburger on top of the red onion. Place the other slice of rye bread on top of the Limburger cheese.
5. Serve the Limburger cheese sandwich with a bock beer, pickles or chips.
