As I said in my last post, the Royal Foodie Joust is back!!!! That's great news because is one of my favourite events in the blogosphere :D. This month of May, the 3 ingredients are: greens, eggs and cheese.
Jenn from the Leftover Queen is planning to move the Joust to the Foodie blogroll but it seems that it will take a bit longer... we are patient and we have no problems waiting a bit more ;D.
Those of you whom follow this blog know my dislike for cheese... but, this was a major cause and I had to participate, so that's why I chose mozzarella... the only cheese I actually eat ;D.
I saw that many of the participants had chosen spinachs... my first choice... but then, I remembered I had some green beans (left over from an Ensaladilla rusa), some iberian acorn ham, quail eggs and the vol au vents waiting for too long in the pantry. I could visualize the dish!
This is ready in no time! Perfect as an appetizer... a small flavorful bite.
Although I made it in no time and only for me, and I didn't measure the ingredients, I will try to give you an approximate measure for 4 servings. Sorry about it!
Ingredients for 4 servings: 200 grs of fresh green beens (they are in season now), 100 grs of Iberian Acorn ham, 8 quail eggs, some grated cheese of your choice, 8 vol au vents, olive oil and salt.
- Wash and cut the green beans. Boil or steam in salty water. When tender, strain and reserve.
- In a sauce pan, add a bit of olive oil and when warm, add the ham cut in small dices. When it starts changing its colour, add the beans and saute for 1 minute. Reserve.
- In a small frying pan, pour enough olive oil to fry the eggs. Remember that you will need a serrated knife to open the eggs. When fried, reserve over kitchen paper and pour a bit of salt on them.
- Get the vol au vents and empty them. Stuff with the green beans and ham, place the egg on top and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
- Place under the grill until the cheese melts.
Eat well!!! and don't forget to participate at the Eating Good Feeling Good Event :D
If you don't find ham, you can also make it with chorizo or morcilla, they match the rest of ingredients too!
