CooksBooksRecipes Editors:
I received this cook book several several weeks back. After studying through it, I easily made the decision around the first recipe which i desired to try: Caramelized Onion and Bayley Hazen Blue Galette. I’ve lengthy desired to meticulously and truly caramelize some onions I enjoy blue cheese and that i mean, just see that photo!
However I wait, after which delayed more. In the end, this really is known as a &"galette&" &- that’s far too fancy for me personally. Also it involved creating a pastry. Not my (super-easy/quick) style.
Finally I couldn’t resist any more, and so i required Medeiros’s words to heart: &"don’t worry it it’s not perfect.&" Surprise! It was so amazingly simple! Now don’t misunderstand me: it required a while. However the time didn't involve me. It involved waiting as the onions caramelized. Actually, that’s one major critique I've using the recipe. Caramelizing the onions needed a minimum of 1 hour 30 minutes (as opposed to the 35-40 minutes noted).
However the dough am simple! Mix it along with your fingers, refrigerate, unveil, and that's it. Confession: I didn’t bother brushing using the beaten egg yolk after developing the tart. Second confession: I couldn’t find ready-made creme fraiche and didn’t need to make it myself. After a little Google searching, I substituted full-fat Greek yogurt, and also the result was absolutely scrumptious. I’m now thinking of all of the different ways I'm able to make use of this super-easy dough recipe.
Did we've the Bayley Hazen Blue Cheese from Vermont to make use of whenever we attempted the recipe? Regrettably, no. However, you can bet we’re buying some on the next journey &- to Vermont.
