Discoveries continue to be made, and I'm only a week out of the harbor. A few days ago I experimented with savory fruit tarts, aka mini quiches. Flavor on the left is Grape with Dubliner Cheddar. Flavor on the right is Apple with Brie, which was the more successful one. It is subtle and creamy with a good balance between the apple and brie, not overpowering at all. I had high hopes for the grape/dubliner... alas, it needs some work. It's a bit too tangy and has a pretty intense flavor. Maybe it needs to be combined with another type of cheese to mellow it out. Or maybe some people would love it. Not sure yet... This was a great exercise for me though, it led me to really think about where my focus should lie. I'm very inspired by sweet pies these days. Daydreams of Mexican inspired pies keep floating into my head. Spicy Chocolate Banana, Flan Pie, butter/sugar/cinnamon tortilla pockets, mango empanadas... the list goes on and on. More on Mexi-Pies later...
As always, thanks for the support!
