Onions, Yogurt and Parmesan Cheese Savory Muffins
The following savory muffins will delight anyone who loves sautéed onions, as they contain a hefty amount of them. This time, I aimed at sautéing the onions only until they were soft, not caramelized, as I wanted to retain a less sweetish onion flavor, that will pair well with the yogurt. Continue reading
Sephardic Spaghetti and Cheese Bake
Unlike last week’s time consuming recipe, the following recipe requires very little effort or ingredients.
The original bake, which is known in the Sephardic cuisine as “Makarron reynado”, is a simple mix of cooked spaghetti, Feta cheese, eggs and milk, baked until set and golden. Continue reading
Leeks, Gruyère Cheese and Walnuts Mini Bakes
Leeks are among my favorite vegetables, and are now at their best; fresh, plump and juicy. So obviously, I found myself buying some and then had to decide how to cook them.

Flourless Zucchini, Red Onion and Cheeses Bake
After the heavy dinners of this week, it was time for some lighter vegetarian dishes, and, as I often do, I used zucchini as a base for a cheese bake. This bake is one of them: it is hearty and filling, yet not heavy at all, mostly due to the fact it contains no flour or any other starch. Continue reading
Starchless Cauliflower, Goat Cheese and Almonds Bake
With a request to develop a “vegetarian, starchless bake”, the decision to use cauliflower as the main ingredient was quite obvious, as this vegetable’s texture when cooked is as close to that of potatoes. Continue reading
Leeks and Cheeses Filo Bake
Leeks are at their best in the winter, and when I saw some fresh and plump ones, I immediately grabbed a few. I used a couple of them to make leeks and potatoes patties (recipe can be found HERE), and with the rest I’ve decided to prepare a filo bake. Continue reading
