The Hygge Series: Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Bread

cheese · cheesy garlic bread · fomo · garlic · garlic bread

It’s been almost a week of hygge-living, and I can honestly tell you, it feels rather blissful. I was worried, it may start affecting my work – this extra focus on myself and balancing my emotions – but in fact, it worked brilliantly for my thought process. Work felt a lot more streamlined and I was able to focus on the priorities. And most importantly – asking myself: “is this giving me inner peace?” before I spoke to someone or did something helped me decide whether to go forward or not. Perhaps it’s also a good thing that I have zero percent of FOMO in my mind. But if you do suffer from FOMO (that’s: Fear Of Missing Out), I strongly suggest you try this for a week!

I also started the first week of 2019 with phone conversations that ended with “hope I’ll see more of you this year than last!” And it got me thinking – do I really live in such a cocoon? Oh dear. This week, I will start with calling one friend a day, and meeting friends three times a week at least… let’s see how we do!

In the meantime – this is something that’s borderline sinful, but worth every calorie. Sliced white bread (a genius invented this!) is rolled three-in-a-line to create one long slice; stuffed with cheese slice, veggies, herbs, garlic and more shredded cheese, rolled up, and then baked to oozing cheesy galore!

I say this is the perfect after-school snack for the kids, and for yourself too – because you need it just as much!

The Recipe
Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 3 white bread slices, crustless
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 2 sliced cheese
  • 1/4 cup green peppers, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp dried herbs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter with garlic and herbs

Instructions

  • Place the three slices of bread, in a row, on a cling film, each overlapping the other just slightly
  • Using a rolling pin, roll over the three slices, to gently create one long slice
  • Brush olive oil over the slice
  • Place the slice cheeses in the centre, followed by the shredded cheese, veggies and garlic
  • Add the seasoning on top
  • From one side, gently roll the bread, using the cling wrap as support
  • The bread must end up looking like a tightly wrapped Swiss roll
  • Fasten the sides of the cling film tightly and insert a toothpick or two to hold the shape
  • Place the roll in the fridge for at least 30 mins
  • To bake, remove the cling wrap and brush with melted garlic butter
  • Place in a preheated oven of 180C for 15 minutes
  • Remove from the oven and let cool just slightly before removing the toothpick, and slicing
  • Serve with hot sauce

Cheese on Toast

This is a classic British snack inspired recipe - a mix between Welsh rarebit and cheese on toast - which is an open faced toast with a medley of melted cheese and dash of Worcestershire sauce. i add an egg into the cheese mix to help with setting of it, to add a bit of protein and to get that quiche-y type of topping! to this mix i also add a touch of mustard (English mustard is preferred!) for that little kick.

Quick Cheese Straws {no yeast, no egg}

This is the best recipe I've ever discovered. As kids, my brother and I gorged on flaky-but-sturdy cheese straws on the streets of London. Perfectly seasoned, crispy cheese on top and toasted sesame seeds, peppery rosemary - oh my - so so divine! I adapted a recipe I found whilst scrolling Instagram and found this too good to be true. So a Saturday morning when I had three little children under my wings, I set about this recipe - and my God, it worked! It's a dleight to eat, and great to make with the kids!

Peach + Hot Honey Salad

Hot + spicy honey, sweet fleshy stone fruits, hard cheese, pungent basil and onions is the kind of match you see in beautiful Hollywood films. There’s a touch of romance, passion and a kind of l’amour that is best captured in good old-fashioned novels. Hot honey is a classic condiment that seems to have lost its shine over time, but I’m here to bring back it’s well deserved moment of glory. Stone fruits are my absolute favourite (Plum + Roses Brew is evidence) – as a kid, peaches were the first item on the picnic list for my Dad – mind you I don’t exactly recall the going on the picnic, but the preparations and excitement are still ingrained! Hot honey is basically honey, warmed up, brought to a boil once with a load of chilies – Thai bird chilies are my poison – or any kind of dried chili flakes works. Allow to cool, or simply drizzle over whatever you like. Hot honey goes with fresh fruits, on avocado, avocado toast (ask Kylie Jenner – she swears by adding honey and chili flakes separately over the toast), eggs, plain toast with cream cheese, French toast, khakhra, grilled cheese sandwich, bake dishes or roasts, grilled veggies… Here, what this honey does is adds the spice to the sweet and sour fruits, adds the crunch and strong bite through raw onions, fresh basil torn up and as always, a bit of cheese always does me real good. I opt for hard cheese like emmenthal or gouda, but a burratta, feta or ricotta does just as well. Its cheese, and there’s always room for it. Enjoy this beautiful love affair! I used Nature Therapy Eucalyptus Honey The Recipe Serves 1 Ingredients 2 peaches, sliced 2 plums, sliced ½ onion, sliced fresh basil sliced strong hard cheese (emmenthal or gouda) Hot Honey: ¼ cup Eucalyptus honey Eucalyptus Honey 1 tsp red chili flakes 4-5 thai bird chilies, crushed 1 tbsp water Instructions Hot Honey: Combine all the ingredients together and place on stovetop and bring to a boil Remove from heat and allow to cool down Salad: Arrange all the salad items together Drizzle 1-2 tbsp of the hot honey on top
