Two meals I've eaten recently have been so good and cheese-based I feel I must share them with my Cheese Fellows. First up, an idea so simple I can't believe I hadn't stuffed my dairy-loving face with it before. If you're a savoury breakfast person (and if not why not what is wrong with you etc etc) then you'll appreciate my joy at discovering the AMAZING MOUTH-PLEASER that is The Chelsea's Parmesan French Toast. PARMESAN. FRENCH. TOAST. It was amazing – salty and cheesy and fried – and, like Joey Tribbiani, fried-stuff-with-cheese is my favourite food group. They served it with pea puree, ham hock (hock-word-barf – I changed to bacon) and poached eggs (preggo over here changed them to scrambled.) Basically though you could serve a mangy old cat with this and it would be amazing (as long as the cat was not on the same plate. And possibly not ideal for vegetarians). We should have a Cheese Breakfast and make Parmesan French Toast. In fact, we should have a Cheese Breakfast! I'm capitalising it because it's a thing! Or it is now!
Ok, so second cheese-based delight was something I made myself and it was surprisingly delicious. Actually, not that surprising considering it contained three, yes three, different types of cheese. It was this bad boy:
A lemon ricotta, roasted pumpkin and grilled vegetable bake, topped with both mozzarella and parmesan. So that's three different brilliant cheeses right there – how could it go wrong. It's from this website, which I'm completely obsessed with as the author makes eating whole foods delicious and quick and easy – and since my second favourite food group is takeaway, she's engaged in a worthy battle. I didn't have buffalo mozzarella in the house as, well, I'm from Hull, so I used grated mozzarella instead and it was still all good in the oven 'hood. Ok, am off to forage for cheese. So long, Cheese Fellows.
Oh we must, must, must book in a date for Cheese Breakfast. Pre- or Post-Pregnancy?
