TWD: Savory Brioche Pockets

Like all pockets of flavor, such as raviolis and wontons, these Savory Brioche Pockets are satisfying, tasty, and of course, a pain in the butt to make. You have to roll out dough, cut out 24 circles, fill it with goodness, and then seal them. Ugh...too much work. 

Though, I guess it was worth it. They were filled with caramelized onions, goat cheese, potatoes, and blanched asparagus. MmMmm....

I think next time I'll just make half moons or triangles to save time. And I would definitely add more cheese. I love cheese. Or go with something else...I'm thinking something with curry in it.

TWD: Rewind! Pizza with Onion Confit

I actually made Pizza with Onion Confit in January, but I never posted it. Below is my late post that sadly stayed in limbo for four months:

This week's recipe was pizza with onion confit. At first, I wasn't very impressed with the pizza. I either rolled the dough out too thin or cooked it too long. The crust was way too crunchy for me, but the toppings made it worth while. I devoured the whole thing all by myself. MuHAHAHa!!! I fell asleep in a food coma for 5 hours. What a great day...

For the toppings, it was recommended by this week's host to add blue cheese and fig to the pizza. I thought this was a brilliant idea and so, I went with it. On top of the confit, I added figs and parmigiano reggiano, arugula, and blue cheese dressing. The texture and flavors were amazing. The crunchy arugula and sweet, chewy figs did a great job mellowing out the sour onion confit. And about half way through inhaling the pizza, I added extra shaved parm on top for a little bit more saltiness. So good....
