HELLO AGAIN

SO I kind of haven't kept up with posting lately. I guess I want this blog to be recreation and not really a priority to post. BUT that doesn't mean I won't try to post as much as possible.
I would like to kick back into posting with something absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Homemade flaky biscuits with HOMEMADE BRUSHETTA. Brew-shhkket-tah (proper pronunciation).
This is literally the best Brushetta I've ever had. I know you'll agree once you try it. This one is another recipe that I made up. So I'm proud of my own personal version. It's very easy to make! If you don't want to make homemade biscuits then I recommend serving on toasted english muffins or on toasted french bread.
















Here's the recipe:

Kristen's Homemade Brushetta

• About 2 or 3 roma tomatoes, diced
• 1/2 red onion, minced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tsp basil, finely chopped
• 1 tsp oregano, ground
• 1/2 small eggplant, finely chopped/diced
• 1/4 of a zucchini, finely chopped/diced
• Few crumbles of goat's cheese... Or feta- whatever you prefer
• finely shredded mozzerella or parmesan cheese- again whichever you prefer
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• A touch of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper

Preparation:

• Put all ingredients except cheeses into a medium sized bowl. Toss. Cover, and let sit for about 15 minutes. You can also put it in the fridge and use whenever needed. 
• Toast bread of choice
• Assemble the brushetta on up of bread or biscuits. Add cheese on top. 
•Bake at 350 degrees for about 5-10 minutes.

Homemade Flaky Biscuits:

• 2 cups flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, plus more to add on top later
• 3/4 cups milk

Preparation
• Wisk together flour, powder and salt. Cut the butter -very cold- into dry ingredients and cut in flour mixture until butter pieces are about the size of a pea. Add in milk and mix just until combined.
• Roll out the dough on a surfaces layered thin with powdered sugar. Roll out until about 1 inch thick.
• Cut out circles to form the biscuits. Place on a prepared baking sheet. Add a small cube of butter on top.
• Bake at 450 degrees for about 10-12 minutes.


ENJOY!
