No Name Cheese Recipe


I felt a need for cheese. I kept thinking of quiche, pizza, mac and cheese, spaghetti with Parmesan, Feta with anything..........big chunks of cheese, sliced cheese, squishy cheese, smelly cheese.....just cheese.

What do you do when you see cheese in everything? ---- You grab a piece of cheese and while eating it, you start to cook. At least, that is what I did.

This recipe has no name and I can't think of one. A recipe really needs a name, doesn't it? A recipe without a name is like water without a glass. It is nebulous. So, what name should I give it.

These are the facts:

It has Gouda and Parmesan.

Scallions and tomatoes.

It is broiled.

It has my least favorite ingredient - mayonnaise.

It is delicious.

It has that nice brown top from the broiler.

We finished it off in no time, at all.


So, what would you name it. Nothing? You think about it, while I type the recipe and then maybe, one of us will come up with a name for it.
No Name Cheese Recipe

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup Gouda cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise (you can cut it to 1/4)
2 - 3 scallions, chopped
3 tomatoes, slice thickly


Method:

Combine Parmesan, Gouda, mayo, scallions, in a bowl

Transfer to a food processor. I used the mini one from my Cuisinart Smart Stick.

Process until it is somewhat smooth. You still want the greens and reds to show a little. 

Arrange tomato slices in a baking pan which has been sprayed with olive oil.

Spread cheese mixture on each tomato slice. It will cover the tomato and is a little thick.

Broil tomatoes for a few minutes. Watch it so it does not burn. 


Serve on plates with a green salad or serve as an appetizer or eat it for lunch or breakfast.


Just enjoy it.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
