Cheese Crepes

Empress Lily - WDW Shopping Village

It's been awhile since I have blogged about Disney recipes, but don't worry - I'm still cooking!

Drum roll please..........:::....:::...:::  This is the last "eggs and cheese" recipe in this book! I have indeed finalized a section!

Holy cheese. That's a good thing. I love cheese. I cheated on this recipe and used swiss cheese instead of Gruyere since it's similar and much cheaper. Still so yummy. I'm sure it would be even better with the real stuff. FYI - the crepe recipes in the Disney books are awesome. Best crepe recipe I have ever had. The recipe was fast - make the filling, make the crepes, put them together!

Florentine Sauce

Terrace Cafe - Contemporary Resort

  This recipe is in the "sauces" section. It informs you to serve the sauce over noodles or pasta. I decided to add a grilled chicken breast into the mix to turn it into forentine chicken and pasta. It was easy to make but not very impressive. The main reason why I didn't enjoy it was the strange fish flavor it had. Note: there is nothing fishy in it. I'm not sure if that flavor came from the spinach or not. Because of that, it only gets 2 mickeys. Sorry florentine sauce.

Steak Neptune

Pueblo Room - Contemporary Resort

The recipe looks simple and fast. It's not. The biggest reason is that it has so many elements - sauce, crab, steak, asparagus, and toast. The Bearnaise sauce is great. I would make it again. It was fairly easy to make, but took some devoted time to stand and whip. Again, I didn't eat the crab (which is sad because I like crab) but I did eat the sauce. I like the fact that the sauce does not contain any shellfish, therefore if you do have an allergy like I do you can still eat the meal, just leaving the crab off the steak. The asparagus is cooked by boiling it in water and chicken bouillon for a few minutes. I have never cooked asparagus like this before, but it was very good. Overall this recipe gets 4 mickeys. Even though I'm not giving you the recipe, you should still try it if you have the book. It's worth the effort!

Shrimp and Cheese Omelet

Coral Isle Cafe - Polynesian Village Resort

Since I have developed a shellfish allergy after having my son, I leave the shellfish taste testing to my husband. Don't worry, I made myself an omelet...mine went southwestern with homemade salsa and cheese. :-)

According to Greg, the omelet was good. He was sceptical at first if shrimp and eggs would taste good together. The shrimp is cut up and put into a sauce, the cooked into the middle. It only took about 20 minutes to make.

Banana Bread

Monorail Cafe - Disneyland Hotel

I love banana bread. This recipe was no different. It had a great nutty, yet sweet flavor. The texture was perfect - not to dry, not too moist. The top even turned into a sugary crust. Well worth the 10 minutes it took to mix it up! :-)
Super fast and easy, very yummy, 4 mickeys!

Albondigas with Mushrooms, En Croute

Special Events - Disneyland Hotel

Over all this was a very easy recipe to make. The meatballs were great - I would make them and use them in other ways. Again as in past recipes, this is a very salty soup. The flavor was great, it just needs a salt reduction.

Apala

Papeete Bay Verandah - Polynesian Village Resort

First let me say that I hate coring apples when you can't cut them open! I had to get my husband to do it. Secondly, it's impossible to get that pretty green filling into the apple without a piping bag. The apple cooking and cooling took a bit of time, but overall the recipe wasn't too bad. I thought the alcohol in it would have a stronger flavor but it wasn't very noticeable. Not too bad. 3 mickeys.
