Passover Berry Cobbler

11 Apr

Passover ended last week, so once again I am late with the holiday recipes. However, I look at it this way, some dishes are so tasty, that they should be eaten any time of the year, not just during the holidays.

During Passover I had to come up with a dessert that would be “Passover friendly”, as we had guests over that were observant. I had literally one day to come up with something that was very tasty and yet took no time to make. My first point of reference? The Food Network of course. Within minutes I found the perfect recipe. It requires a minimum amount of ingredients and was so easy to prepare. The Food Network’s Passover Cobbler.

I followed the recipe pretty closely, however I used frozen berries and frozen pitted cherries for the filling. I couldn’t find cinnamon sugar, so I picked up some cinnamon and mixed it with regular sugar. I would recommend using less of the cinnamon sugar mixture than the recipe recommends, as it still covers all the berries and the top of the cobbler. As for technique, I used a hand-held mixer to mix all the ingredients together. To make this cobbler you will need:

3 large eggs
3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of matzo meal
2 tablespoons of potato starch
2 packages of frozen fruit (1.5 would also do)
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
1/8 cup of cinnamon sugar (I would use a bit less)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Break the eggs in a mixing bowl, add sugar and mix until smooth and well mixed together. Add matzo meal, potato starch and vegetable oil to the egg and sugar mixture and mix until fully combined.

Grease a pie dish or a deep baking pan and cover with frozen berries (make sure the bottom of the dish you choose is fully covered and not visible). Top the fruit with most of the cinnamon sugar mixture, and then pour all of the matzo mixture over the fruit. When pouring try to cover most of the fruit. Top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture, and bake in the oven for 45 minutes.

I made this cobbler three times in the last week, and it has come out fabulous every time (see what I mean about eating it any time of the year :) )

Visit to Reno Part 3…Honey Bun French Toast with Fruit Salad

10 Oct

We have come to the end of our visit to Reno series. I decided to save the sweetest dish for last. We ended our visit to Reno with some AMAZING french toast, fruit salad and some tasty mimosas. Let’s start with the french toast.

Y from She Suggest…adapted her recipe of the Honey Bun French Toast from the Joy of Cooking All About Breakfast & Brunch cookbook.

The ingredients you’ll need:
3 tbsp of honey
4 tbsp of butter
1 cup chopped pecans
4 large eggs
2/3 cup of apple cider
2 tbsp (or more) of cinnamon
dash of vanilla
dash of all spice (or nutmeg)
bread slices

To prepare the french toast:
Preheat oven to 400.
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter with 3 tablespoons of honey in a baking dish until butter has melted and honey starts to bubble. Remove from stove and add 1 cup chopped pecans. Return to oven for a minute if you like your pecans extra cooked, if not just let stand until you put in the bread.
In a separate bowl mix 4 large eggs, 2/3 cup apple cider, 2 tablespoons (or more) of cinnamon, a dash of vanilla and a dash of all spice (or nutmeg). Add bread slices (with or without crust) one or two at a time. Turn them in the mixture until thoroughly saturated but not falling apart. Arrange the soaked bread over the nuts and bake until golden brown (it’s supposed to take 15-20 minutes but because of altitude ours take longer). So adjust according to your location. Y likes to flip hers after a while to give both sides the pecan coating.

The french toast was served with a delicious fruit salad made of watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe and mint.

Of course no breakfast is complete without tasty mimosas. Other than the normal champagne and orange juice, we got little frozen raspberries in our flutes. It was delish.
