I saw this in a magazine and thought it looked absolutely delicious. It would make a very fancy romantic meal or even be great for a dinner party with friends. I love the idea of using Cornish hens because of the combo of dark and white meat. The hens are baked, but I want to try them on the grill when it gets warm.
This is great for a weekend breakfast. I have leftovers the next day and it tastes great as well. I found this on the internet as ‘exported for Mastercook’. I used cheddar cheese instead of Swiss and omitted the 2 teaspoons of horseradish since we don’t care for it. You could also use cooked bacon instead of the ham and I think next time I may throw in some chopped green peppers and/or onions as well. I hope you give it a try. A fantastic brunch dish or if you have guests staying over.
These become tender and soft in the oven, and are finished off under the broiler to crip them up! Adapted from Cooking Pleasures magazine. Potatoes and leeks were used throughout Europe and are considered Irish, Russian and Southern USA foods.
Flammekeuch is a pizza-like affair with a thin bread crust topped with crème fraiche, fromage blanc, smoked bacon and thinly sliced onion. From the LCBO magazine.
This is the most requested dessert in our Chambres d’Hotes; I like to make it quite tart and lemony, with creme fraiche, instead of thick double cream – plus I like it to be baked until just set and with a wobble! This is great served with a drizzle of cassis for an elegant finishing touch, plus a sprig of mint. If you are not a great lover of lemons, please reduce the quantity of lemons in the recipe.
