Asparagus and brie quiche (Quiche de esparragos y queso Brie)

 Some times  people tell me     I make  many sweet recipes  but  I love many savory  things, I love quiches, pizzas, chicken, stews and soups!  I love salads too! Only sometimes happens I can't  take pictures  to all I make (especially the last time) because  you need time to take good pictures. You know this year has been especially difficult for me. Still sometimes is difficult use my right arm but I feel better. Well, I made this quiche with Brie cheese a long time ago and I found the photos.  And the crust is so good  with toasted sesame seeds. Quiches can be eaten year-round and can be made vegetarian or with some protein (such as chicken or fish) And some pictures of here!

Tomato cherry and herb puff tarts (Tartas de tomate cherry y albahaca en masa de hoja)

Finally I am here to finish  the post of these Tomato cherry and basil little tarts. This month has been crazy and sometimes a mess  with my appointments to the kinesiologist and everything else, Im going three times a week. But the truth is never very quiet around here. This recipe is vegetarian and we all loved it, the good thing is with puff pastry and they are made fast, you can vary the fillings but I had the tomatoes because suddenly I crave a recipe and so it was with this one. I made this recipe in these smaller rectangular molds but it can be done in round or one long one, that is the one you have on hand or you like more. Take advantage that in many places it is still summer and you can get beautiful tomatoes and basil. In any case, here in Chile, cherry tomatoes are usually found year-round. Love and hugs for everyone. Thanks for coming. Source:  Delicious magazine UK Ingredients 250 grams cherry tomatoes  Olive oil to drizzle 375 grams ready rolled puff ...

Broccoli, carrots and zucchini clafoutis (mini clafoutis aux legumes)

Really I dont know why sometimes the days really fly, the seasons  and all pass very fast,here we are already in Autumn although still is hot.  Of course nights and mornings are really more cold and I love it but sometimes you do not know how dressed. In case someone missed me I was more than a week without internet or wifi, not only could not do any post, (with my phone reviewed some sites) could not do anything in the bank or see my virtual library. Well, fortunately internet came back yesterday afternoon. This recipe of vegetable clafouti is really good but also light and nice to any season  and you can make with others veggies, simple and delicious.  Thinking of those who are in the spring. I also noticed that Easter is very close and I am preparing a post. Is nice to be here again. A hug to everyone and a lot of love Source : Cuisine AZ Print recipe Broccoli,carrots and zucchini clafoutis Ingredients  (4 servings) For  clafouti cream 200 grams all pur...

Baked-Egg Tartlets ( Tartas con huevo al horno y ensaladas)

Spring is just starting  here in the Southern hemisphere. But even the mornings are very cold.  But the most beautiful are the roses that have begun to bloom little by little. When we arrived at this house there was nothing, absolutely nothing around, no plants, trees, or flowers. The house was abandoned several years.(all these was about 10 years ago)  And these roses were brought to me( 10 years ago) by a lady who lived close our house  and said : you have to plant these roses, are amazing. We made. They are like a miracle. They have also multiplied over these years. Baked egg tartlets About the recipe are   simple and delicious individual tarts  with a mustard sauce and  egg inside that is baking in the oven. Are really  delicious. I love to serve  with  asparagus and some salads. A big hug to all and have a nice weekend!

Prawns and curry quiche (quiche de camarones y curry)

Some days ago I made this  Prawns and curry quiche and i was really good, especiall the crust. A quiche is a great stand by for lunch or supper and is always best eaten hot or warm. And baking the pastry "blind" first, without the filling ensures that the pastry case is cooked through so it doesn't get a soggy bottom.
