red velvet pancake + cream cheese whipped cream and savory egg tart
Aren’t heart shaped pancakes very fitting for a day like valentine’s day? (I actually made these the day before, but not like it matters.) You can find the recipe to the red velvet pancake and cream cheese whipped cream here. Again, I cut the amount of sugar for the whipped cream. Whipped cream was never a topping I enjoyed on dessert, but this recipe is freaking awesome with the addition of cream cheese. I also had chocolate ganache left over from the superbowl s’more cupcakes so I drizzled that over the pancakes.
I used Tartine Bakery’s tart dough recipe for my savory egg tart. It’s probably one of the best crusts I’ve had in a while…I definitely recommend using this recipe. I don’t remember the portions of ingredients (garlic, onion, mushrooms, turkey kielbasa, cheddar cheese, eggs and cream). I just did everything by sight. I sauteed garlic and onions with olive oil. I then added the kielbasa and mushrooms to the mixture and cooked until the kielbasa were browned. I set those aside to cool down. In a separate bowl, I whisked together eggs, cream, salt and pepper. I spooned the mushroom and kielbasa mixture into the tart shells and topped with some cheese. I then poured the egg mixture into the tart shells. I baked them for about 20 minutes at 375 degrees F.
ANYWAY…who cares about the recipe…GUESS what I got for V-Day?!??!!?!?

(^___^) <——very, very, very happy! I think I squealed like a kid tasting chocolate cake for the first time. Am I a dork for being this excited and giddy over a stand mixer?
Thank you Mr. Y2K!!!
