I stayed at the de Giers' for a night and Taylor was kind enough to whip up some delicious breakfast fruit for me! Blueberries, blackberries and strawberries.
Inspired by a Bobby Flay throwdown. Whole wheat bread, dipped in a vanilla custard then encrusted with corn flakes and fried. Spread with sweetened cream cheese and filled with strawberries. Topped with powdered sugar. Not so sweet that it can't be called breakfast, but not so savory that you can't justify putting sugar on it. Mmmm.
I am a firm believer in fruit on sandwiches. This beauty was chock-full of turkey, sliced strawberries, baby lettuce, aged white cheddar, raspberry vinaigrette, and sprinkled with salt and black pepper. I was a big fan.
This was a test run for a tart I'm meant to make next week. Crust, pastry cream, mango, strawberry. Those were the fruits we had so that's what I used...I'll expand on that next time. Anyway, this was tasty.
Thanks to Jen for this brilliant idea, and thanks to mah Mawmz for secretly being an expert crepe-maker. Filled with ricotta cheese, chocolate hazelnut spread and strawberries, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Also, an honorable mention to my mother for showing me up:
