White lasagna
So, the recipe I found was lackluster. I modified it, because I can. Not gonna link it here. I found conflicting info on whether I had to cook the noodles. So I compromised, and poured salted boiling water over them in a pan and let them soak for a bit. Final result seems edible. I basically lightly sautéed veggies (broccoli and carrots) in a pan with butter and salt and oregano then added chopped spinach and wilted that. Cooked some sausage. Made a basic white sauce, and added all the veggies and sausage to that, in addition to some parmesan cheese. Ricotta cheese and egg was the other filler. (no seasonings! what the hell original recipe writer? I didn't think about the fact that it was unseasoned until after the fact. sigh) Did the standard, I think, stacking of the dish. Little sauce, noodles, sauce, filler, noodles, etc. then topped with a generous bit of mozzarella. Baked for a bit, then out, cooled, and then cut and ate.
Chaffles
So, I made chaffles today. They're a take on waffles, obviously. Cheese and egg. Lots of variations possible. The things I'm reading are somewhat misleading, in that they say that they taste just like a normal waffle. Well, they don't. They taste like what they are, egg and cheese. But I LIKE that combination. So, not a miss, but mislead just the same. I made the 'basic' with mozzarella and egg ( 1/2 cup cheese to 1 large egg ratio) first. Whisk the egg(s) in a bowl and add the cheese and mix. Cook in a waffle iron. I used a double batch and made 4 chaffles. I then made a single batch with pepper jack cheese and some chopped ham. I'm using a mini waffle iron. About a quarter cup of mix will fit in. These don't spread like a waffle batter will, so you need to scootch it to the edges to get it all spread. All in all, I like them. Again, they do NOT taste like a normal waffle. You can put syrup on them, but I think they lend themselves more to
