Ba'corn Cheese Corn
This bacon-studded "cheese corn" is a popular bar snack in Korea, made of pure bacon-y, creamy, cheesy, corny decadence. The original recipe combines mayonnaise and sweetened condensed milk, but we're going with heavy cream here for a lighter approach. This may be the first time in my career that I've "lightened up" a recipe by adding a cup of heavy cream. Garnished with green onions, this would be amazing with a cold beer!
German Twists
These German twists are rich and tender sour cream and yeast cookies. They are delicious and so lovely with their many delicate layers and twists. The recipe is time-honored and historic, and there are many variations. This updated version uses all butter and a food processor for excellent flavor and easy mixing. The rich yeast dough does not contain sugar, but the sweetness and layering result from well-sugaring the dough and work surface while rolling and folding it several times before cutting and shaping the cookies.
Huevos Endiablados
Spanish tapas are tasty small plates that when combined can create a light supper, or serve as a great appetizer. Huevos Endiablados are deviled eggs filled with a savory combination of tuna, onion, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
