Lobster & Asparagus Gratin
Jun 8, 2022
This super-fluffy omelette is an easy dinner option when paired with a leafy salad. Though it might seem fussy to beat the whites separately, it's well worth the effort. The extra volume gives the dish a light, airy texture you won't get from beating whole eggs.
The key to achieving the perfect hollandaise is to temper, or slowly heat, the egg yolks over simmering water; it will prevent them from curdling as you gradually whisk in the melted butter. To separate the egg yolks from their whites with ease, crack each egg into your hand, one at a time, and, over a bowl or sink, pass the yolk from one hand to the other, letting the egg white drain through your fingers.
Creamy coconut milk and rich white chocolate, which come together in this velvety-smooth and perfectly sweet custard, are a match made in heaven. For easy slicing, let the tart chill once you've added the custard. Use a vegetable peeler to easily shave the chocolate garnish.
If you're looking to amaze dinner guests with an impressive dessert, soufflés are just the trick. Since height is the sign of a successful soufflé, always serve them straight out of the oven, before their tops have a chance to settle. Serve a shot glass of crème anglaise to each guest so they can pour it in after opening the soufflé with a spoon.
These pretty pastries are perfect for brunch, afternoon tea or dessert. For ideal ripeness, choose figs that are slightly soft to the touch.
This tasty double-crust pizza freezes well, so you don't have to go out or wait for the delivery guy when you want a slice. You can wrap and freeze it whole or cut it into wedges and wrap each individually.
