I love pasta salads and I am always trying out new recipes. This one is a winner, except I think I grated the parm too large… should have made it finer. That said, it was a delicious addition to a picnic and will be to one of yours as well.
Savory Snacks
It’s a bank holiday weekend, the unofficial “start to summer” and we’re in a global pandemic, so Munich trips are off for the time being! Didn’t stop me from wanting to be in the biergarten and craving Bavarian Food. Alas, Brezn (pretzels) are harder to come by (make your own!) and so is Obatza, the cheese spread that you find almost everywhere there. Traditional accompaniments are radishes, chives, gherkins, sometimes cherry tomatoes or even some charcuterie. Ein gutn!
Springtime Lunch: Prosciutto wrapped Asparagus is a pretty classic combo and I happen to have Prosciutto in the house, so decided to go with a quiche for lunch. My quiche attempts have been hit-or-miss in the past, with some of them turning out quick dense. This one was light and fluffy though, and which a touch on the salty side (I should have compensated for the saltiness of the Prosciutto more), it was great. The recipe is written for a full-sized quiche (9 inch pan), but I just made a small one for me (6 inch pan). Lunch for tomorrow then too!
I should do my best Dr. Seuss impression call these Green Eggs and Ham Deviled Eggs, except they are with bacon, and not much rhymes with bacon, so I’ll just have to stick to boring old Develied Eggs Florentine. Eggs, Spinach and Bacon. Quite yummy and used up the last of my colored eggs from Easter. On to other adventures!
Smoked Salmon and Chives Deviled Eggs
You might be an overly poshy food blogger when, whilst making deviled eggs during a global pandemic, you think “oooh, I may have stashed smoked salmon in the freezer for an emergency!”
For the record, there is no such thing as a smoked salmon emergency. Ever. No matter how delish it is.
But, the deviled eggs are yummy. And my chives survived the winter.
