Savory cake: Turkey, cheddar and fresh mushrooms

What’s going on in Pauline-Cuisine?

This week, I would like to share with you another recipe that could fit as a lunch box or main course, even as a starter for welcoming your guests. I will give you the recipe of a delicious savory cake with turkey, cheddar and fresh mushrooms.

Last weekend, I was thinking about my lunch box timetable and I was quite fed up of my weekly quiche. Even if I have a large variety of quiches and dough for quiches, I wanted something different. I was thinking of an alternative when I just thought about a dish that I like to cook when I was student or when I organized finger food diner in Paris for my friends. This savory cake is easy to do, hard to fail and it always makes a good impression. The original recipe was made with Italian ham and white wine but as I am not really keen in using alcohol, I decided to amend the recipe. Moreover, I replaced the Italian ham with turkey as the Italian ham is quite hard to slice in the cake. When I made the recipe I was a little bit worried about the size of the Turkey bits, I didn’t want them too big because it will be hard to eat as a savory cake is quite compact, I decided to make small square pieces and it works really well. The cake was airy and it was really tasty.

I encourage you to bake this delicious savory cake with turkey, cheddar and mushrooms as it is really tasty for your lunch break and easy to prepare. Don’t hesitate to comment the recipe.

Have a nice week and see you next week.

Pork chops with caramelized peaches

What’s cooking in Pauline-Cuisine ?

I am quite fed up by the weather at the moment, I didn’t use a lot my balcony and I can’t do my favorite skewers on the barbecue. With my winter mood, sometimes it is hard to wake up on the weekend. When I wake up quite late, that is difficult to eat a breakfast and a lunch. So usually, I cook a brunch.

Last weekend, I was not in mood to eat a lot of pancakes, brioche or bread…. So I decided to cook something new, still sweet but not as usual. I bought pork chops on Friday and I decided to use them. Surprised? A few weeks ago, I have seen a recipe where you need to mix the pork chops and orange juice. I was not really convinced by the idea but I decided to give a try as I feel it because I don’t have the recipe.  First, I mixed sugar and orange juice and let them cook in a pan in order to create a kind of caramel, then I put the mixture on the pork chops and cook the pork chops. In order to accompanying the meat, I cooked peaches that caramelized thanks to their own juice. The sweet and sour mix was amazing and this recipe was a success.

Don’t hesitate to give a try to this new recipe: pork chops with caramelized peaches.

I wish you an excellent week.
