I used this recipe in week 26 of my food blog, “Travel by Stove.” I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Belgium is my 26th stop. I never use any recipe for my blog that I’m not reasonably sure is from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. This appetizer uses Belgian Abbey cheese and homemade pear syrup; but you could really use any soft cheese if you aren’t worried about authenticity, and you could also use a store-bought pear syrup.
This is kind of a cross between Curried Thai Mussels and Belgian Mussels steamed in Witbier. When the recipe is done, serve it up in the pot with a ladle, traditionally, or thicken the sauce and toss it with pasta to add some carbs to the dish. This is designed for two, but can easily be multiplied for more people. Enjoy.

Serve this as an impressive starter or a light main meal – it has an unsusual combination of cheese, ham and potatoes. Soufflés are easy to make – honestly! The only real criteria is that they are served immediately and that the bowl used for whisking the egg whites is oil and grease free…..but even that is not that essential. I sometimes add bacon instead of the ham – just brown and crisp it up first, and then crumble it before adding.
This is a nice gourmet style cooke nice for a dinner party or holiday. it has a delicate hint of orange, but you can leave the orange out if you prefer a plain chocolate taste
