I had some leftover and incorporated it into a Gruyere cheese bread recipe. Delicious and moist!

Made this as a salad dressing by adding lemon juice and buttermilk to make it runnier. Served with steak atop a sturdy romaine lettuce with sliced beefsteak tomatoes and diced cucumbers and dressing was drizzled over the steak and salad.
