Triple Threat Onion Galette

Triple Threat Onion Galette The crust is absolutely divine! I use a flaky, buttery gruyere thyme crust that beautifully complements the caramelized onions. This savory base absorbs all the delicious flavors of French onion soup and can be prepared ahead or chilled for just 30 minutes in the fridge. Caramelize your onions to a light golden brown; they’ll deepen while baking. Spread them over extra gruyere on the dough, fold up the sides, sprinkle them with parmesan, brush with egg wash for shine, and bake until perfection. Let it cool for about 20 minutes before slicing to ensure clean cuts. Enjoy this heavenly dish with friends or indulge solo! Yield: 4 servings This French onion galette is a super fancy yet simple meal. Gruyere thyme crust is filled with caramelized onions and baked until cozy, warm, satisfying and delicious. Serve with a green salad for the perfect plate! Ingredients filling 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 large sweet/yel...

French Beignets

One of the major things I loved about New Orleans was the food they served and of course their famous French Beignets served at Café De Monde on the Mississippi Riverbank. When I traveled to the French Quarter on business the first place I'd head for was Cafe De Monde to get a cup of capichino and a Beinget and I'd take and go sit by the Mississippi Riverbank and enjoy the beauty of New Orleans waterfront before I headed to the hotel to check in and go about my business. You can't travel to New Orleans without endulging in this wonder pastry. I've had this same item in a few places, Paris France being one of them and I have to say the French Quarter is the best I’ve had of these delicacies. In Paris you never know if they are fried or baked, in NOLA they're fried for sure the way they were ment to be cooked. This recipe reminds me of the light, pillowy texture and rich, indulgent taste, only you can find in the French Quarter of New Orleans. These should be served...
