Last Nights Dinner w/ Pictures...

[jerseyjay14]

Went with kind of a french theme last night... nothing too crazy, kind of rushed last night so not the best presentation either. The tartlets came out really good, leeks are big favorite of ours so it went over pretty well. Pork came out good but the sauce thickened up a bit quick...

Appetizer - Leek and Ricotta Tartlet

Soup Course- Ratatouille

Meat Course - Pork Medallions w/ Camembert Sauce

Dessert - Blackberry Parfait

Directions:

- fit pie dough into tart pan. cover with aluminum foil and fill with dry beans or baking weights.

- bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. rotate 180 degrees, and bake for an additional 5 minutes. remove foil/beans and bake for an additional 2 minutes. remove from oven, leaving the crust in the pan

- once cool, brush the bottom of each crust with the mustard

-beat the eggs, and whisk in the ricotta, milk and leaks. fill each tart about 4/5 of the way with the egg mixture

- top each tart generously with the shredded cheddar, and some fresh dill.

- bake @ 350 until the you see the egg become solid and form sort of a dome above the pan level (25-35 minutes)

- let cool for 10 minutes or until the egg settles back in to the pan line. then remove from the pan and serve on a plate.
