- Try serving Campagne pâté with thinly sliced baguette, toasted brioche, or flat bread crackers. Making simple, small tea sandwiches with the pâté and other fresh ingredients is a great way to create a unique party appetizer.
- Campagne pâté can be served between sliced cucumbers for a unique and refreshing pairing! These Cucumber sandwiches can include Dijon mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, a mild cheese and even caramelized onions.
- Boiled potatoes, sliced radishes or beats, pickles, fresh figs and berries can all be used as accompaniments to Campagne pâté. Spinach or lettuce and other green vegetables are great compliments, too.
- All pâtés are delicious with cheese, and can be presented along with various cheeses on a cheese board as a simple, delicious and attractive appetizer. Hard, mild cheeses work best, but Campagne pâté can be enjoyed with softer cheeses as well. Try enjoying it with a Brie or Camembert for a delightfully French feast!
- No French appetizer would be complete without wine and cheese! Try Riesling, a dry, semi sweet wine that is delicious with Campagne pâté.
