Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 12 large cremini or portobello mushrooms
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped mushroom stems, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, rosemary, garlic, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Spoon the filling generously into each mushroom cap, packing it slightly.
  5. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the surface of the puff pastry.
  5. Starting from one end, roll the pastry tightly into a log shape. Slice the log into 1-inch thick twirls.
  6. Place the twirls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  7. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden color while baking.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the twirls are puffy and golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes

Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or some grated Parmesan cheese to the filling.

To ensure that your puff pastry twirls are perfectly flaky, be sure to handle the pastry gently and keep it as cold as possible while working with it. If you’re in a warm environment, you can place the unrolled pastry in the refrigerator for a short while before rolling it out.

Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add ingredients like olives or spinach for a unique twist. These twirls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days and can be reheated in the oven for a crispy finish.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup spelt flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together spelt flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, orange juice, orange zest, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Tip: For a delightful finishing touch, serve these pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of additional orange zest.

For best results, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to ensure fluffiness. If you don’t have spelt flour, you can substitute with whole wheat or all-purpose flour, but the taste and texture may vary slightly.

To add a bit more flavor, consider mixing in some chopped nuts or dried fruit into the batter. Leftover pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for later use; just reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving.

  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 slices of brioche or challah bread
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the baking dish)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon swirl)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon swirl)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  3. Cut the brioche or challah into cubes and place them into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Pour the pumpkin custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to ensure all pieces are soaked.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the swirl. Sprinkle it evenly over the top of the bread mixture.
  6. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar mixture into the bread and custard for a marbled effect.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm, topped with maple syrup or whipped cream.

Notes

Tip: Using stale bread will yield a better texture, as it absorbs the custard without becoming overly soggy.

For best results, use day-old bread to allow the custard to soak in without becoming too mushy. Brioche or challah works exceptionally well for added richness. If you’re short on time, feel free to prepare it the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight; just bake it in the morning!

Leftover bake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving. Feel free to customize by adding nuts or dried fruits for added texture and flavor!
