Puffing it TheBlueCheeseWay

So last Saturday I made the "saucy blue cheese puff." (Better Homes & Gardens ShortCut Recipes,copyright 1980.) Pictures and recipes should find their way on here. I was so excited to make something with blue cheese! I thought the next blue cheese thing I would make would be "nutty blue cheese dip." Yum. Ended up being, this puff.

It turned out like a puffy omelet, if you've had one of those... with soupy sauce underneath. I honestly thought it wouldn't be quite so... soupy. It did seem way too runny. Perhaps next time I will not use skim milk extended with water in the egg part. The recipe said, milk or light cream. Now I followed the sauce recipe just fine. I guess that was meant to be soupy.

That being the texture report, this is the taste report: I have to admit while I was mixing the eggs and cheese, it smelled like sour milk. Upon tasting- it was VERY GOOD. Blue cheese and cream cheese, even mixed together, really are my friends! It was also very good once cooked. I even thought next time I make it I will use a different veggie combination: cauliflower, celery, carrots. I think it will taste like a really dang! tasty cauliflower soup.

Toffee Apple French Toast (aka Caramel Apple Strata) report: sucked. Now, so as not to confuse anyone, this recipe came from Taste of Home Casserole Edition) I followed directions to a tea. The top was dry & crunchy, headed towards being burned, in fact... while the middle didn't cook all the way. Lovely. The taste, I was not even particularly fond of. I think the Heath bits' manufactured taste may have been the culprit. With the crunch they are good, but melted in to things, not so wonderful. My conclusion is that this recipe is flawed. I have no desire to restructure it at this time. Ya want apple custard, ya go to my aunt and ask her about apple custard biscuits. Those 'll do yuh...

The subject for my next blog will be: Pork Pancakes, (Fleskerpanekakker) and Chicken Schnitzel.
