Gruyère Cheese Mini Soufflés

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 45min.

This recipe is a classic, although I have to admit that it was the first time I tried it. I prepared individuals cheese soufflés, although you can just make one big one. I think they are great to serve with a green salad as a starter or appetizer, but you can also serve them with meat and sauce. A variant would be to use a different cheese, such as blue cheese.

Green Pepper Quiche

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 50min.

This is a variant of the traditional “Quiche Lorraine”. It’s a great recipe because you can eat it cold or warm and you can save it in the fridge until the next day. I also like to prepare appetizers from this quiche, but just cutting the pie in small squares and pinching a toothpick in each square.

Tagliatelle with Shrimps

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 15min.

Today’s recipe is based on ingredients you won’t find very often on this blog, because Bouchon really does not like seafood. Since I am a BIG fan, I have to give in sometimes, but usually I just enjoy some while eating out. This recipe, however, is a classic in our household, because I can make some Carbonara Tagliatelle for Bouchon while I cook some shrimps to accompany my own pasta!

Endives, Roquefort and Walnuts Salad

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 10min.

Endives (or chicory) can be cooked or used raw in salads. I actually really rarely eat them cooked, but I LOVE them raw. They are a bit bitter, and match great with cheese, especially the blue ones. This recipes of endives is a typical french recipe, with Roquefort cheese and walnuts.
