Coddled Egg

I love coddled, baked, or poached eggs; they are my most favorite way to eat them. In this case I mixed prosciutto, brie, bell pepper, tomato, salt and pepper into a ramekin. Drop it into a roasting pan filled with water and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.

A little dinner for Bastille Day

Just baked some no-knead bread. I had gone to the farmer's market yesterday for tomato and basil. So combine that with some nice spicy red wine and fresh mozzarella and that's a nice light summer dinner.

It was just an apple

I was craving an apple this afternoon but then it got out of control.

I chopped up a Gala apple. Then added dried cranberries, dried cherries, some candied ginger and corn starch. I tossed that in a bowl and set it aside. I greased a small baking dish and spooned the fruit in.

In my mini-prep I put 1/4 cup of oats, 1/8 cup of wheat flour, 1 tbsp of muscovado sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. I added 1 tbsp of chopped up butter and pulsed until it looked like cornmeal. Over the fruit and into the oven.

Now I just have to wait 30 minutes more for that apple.

Strawberry Banana Cream Pie(s)

Made these for hubby's birthday yesterday. Got the recipe from here. Instead of making one big pie, I got mini Dufour shells (chocolate) from Surfas. I made the custard, sliced up bananas and strawberries, and assembled it with my frosting kit (piping the custard and cream rather than spooning). They were super yummy and people liked being able to eat more than one...
