The „Stramme Max“ is originally a German dish traditionally served as a slice of sourdough bread with ham and fried eggs. There are countless variations and modifications, as it is super simple and makes a delicious breakfast. Here you will find my version as a slightly crisper one with fresh tomatoes and my pickle & red onion salsa as well as a freshly baked ciabatta bun. Let’s enjoy this bun of happiness.

To serve Strammer Max, start by toasting a slice of your favorite bread. Fry eggs to your desired doneness. Place the ham and eggs on the toasted bread. Add a touch of freshness with sliced tomatoes and a zesty pickle and red onion salsa. Serve it open-faced for a picturesque presentation.

While Strammer Max is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare components in advance. Store ham and eggs separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving to maintain the ideal texture. If you have leftover Strammer Max, refrigerate it, but be aware that the bread may lose its crispiness upon reheating.

Start your day right with a tasty Apple Cucumber Brie Turkey Sandwich on wholegrain bread. It’s got crunchy apples, fresh cucumbers, creamy Brie, and lean turkey for a delicious combo. This sandwich isn’t just good for you—it’s a yummy way to kick off your morning with lots of flavor.

Enjoy it in the morning or prep it ahead for on-the-go — quick, easy, and packed with nutrients. It provides a healthy start in the morning and serves as a convenient option when prepared as a meal prep. The combination of crisp apple, refreshing cucumber, creamy Brie, and lean turkey not only makes it delicious but also ensures you get essential nutrients. Easy to assemble and perfect for a flavorful energy boost.

Store this sandwich in an airtight container to keep it fresh. The layer of lettuce between the ingredients, especially the cucumber, acts as a barrier and prevents moisture from reaching the other ingredients. In this respect, this sandwich is very suitable for preparing the evening before or in the morning and taking with you on the go or simply enjoying at home.

Take your event to the next level with these mini beef wellingtons, as a symphony of flavors unfolds with every bite, seamlessly blending mushrooms, Parma ham and a touch of Dijon mustard. This exquisite combination offers a sophisticated taste sensation in each delicious, finger-friendly parcel – perfect for adding a touch of gourmet flair to your party or event.

Present these delicious Beef Wellington finger foods at your Christmas party or on Christmas Eve, for example. These beef bites can be enjoyed on their own or with my spicy Cumberland sauce for an extra festive kick. With their delicious flavors, these canapés will enhance your Christmas party and are an irresistible and perfect addition to your festive table.

To ensure optimum freshness, keep Beef Wellington wrapped in plastic wrap, beeswax cloths, aluminum foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. If you plan to store them for longer, freeze them in an airtight container, making sure to separate the layers with parchment paper. When you’re ready to enjoy the Wellingtons, reheat them in the oven to keep the batter crispy. Defrost frozen Wellingtons in the fridge before reheating to ensure they retain their delicious texture.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife
  • chopping board
  • food processor if necessary
  • small bowl
  • small pan
  • kitchen basting brush

Ingredients

Units Scale
MUSHROOM FILLING
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 180 grams mushrooms
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 3 tbsp port wine (or any other red wine)
  • salt
  • pepper
INDIVIDUAL INGREDIENTS
  • 1 store-bought puff pastry
  • 200 grams beef fillet
  • 100 grams prosciutto di parma
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 egg
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the mushrooms and shallot into very small pieces or pulse briefly in a food processor. Finely chop the parsley. Cut the puff pastry into 16 equal squares and tear the Prosciutto di Parma into 16 pieces. Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk it.
  2. Start by heating a large pan over medium heat and add the chopped mushrooms without any fat. Let them cook until all the water has evaporated and they start to brown slightly. This step keeps them from turning mushy later. Once they’re lightly browned, add a tablespoon of butter and stir. Add the chopped shallot and fry together until the shallots are soft. Deglaze the pan with three tablespoons of red wine and let it reduce for about 5–8 minutes until no liquid remains on the bottom. Stir in the chopped parsley, dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  3. While the mushroom mixture cools, heat another pan with one tablespoon of butter and quickly sear the beef fillet on all sides so that it’s browned on the outside but still raw inside. Take it out of the pan, let it rest briefly, and cut it into 16 equal pieces.
  4. Now assemble the parcels: place a piece of Prosciutto on each puff pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges. Spoon about half a teaspoon of the mushroom mixture onto each piece of ham, then place a piece of beef on top. Brush the beef with a little mustard, then roll up the pastry and seal the edges well.
  5. Place all the pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and put them in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). When the oven is ready, take them out, make a few diagonal cuts on top of each piece, and brush with the beaten egg.
  6. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp. If the beef pieces are very thin, they might not stay medium in the center but they’ll still be incredibly tender and melt in your mouth. Serve warm, ideally with Cumberland sauce.
