Aebleskiever


Have you ever tried an Aebleskiever? They are soo yummy!!
First you need the pan. I got this one HERE
Then you can use ANY pancake mix you just omit the egg in it and use 3 egg white beaten stiff.
These ones I used a corn cake mix (from prepared pantry but you could make your own which I will be doing since the kids scarf these down)
and I added some chopped up bacon and some shredded cheese in the middle.
we also used pork sausage and they were just as good!!

Homemade Breadcrumbs

Anyone else obsessed with Kitchen BOss??? I LOVE IT!! anyways thats where I got this recipe. I did kinda do my own thing with it. I just used whatever bread I had and I used fresh grated mozzarella and romano cheese. It still turned out great. I just keep it in the fridge and use whenever i need it.


INGREDIENTS
1pound loaf rustic Italian bread such as Pugliese
1cup finely grated pecorino cheese
2garlic cloves put through a garlic press
2tablespoons dried Italian herbs
3tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1/2tablespoon fine sea salt
PREPARATION:
  1. The day before you plan to make breadcrumbs: Slice the bread into ½ inch slices. Place slices on cake racks to dry overnight.
  2. In batches, crumble or tear bread slices into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse the bread multiple times until the crumbs are about the size of a dime.
  3. Add the cheese, garlic, herbs and salt and continue to pulse until the breadcrumbs become fine. Store what you are not using in the freezer or in your refrigerator for 3-4 days.
