Asiago Cheese and Chive Scones

By Denise Pare-Watson

Leftovers are often overlooked, but to me, they are a source of countless opportunities.  For example, leftover Asiago Cheese mashed potatoes from our Easter gathering provided a wonderful chance to get creative.  The potatoes were so delicious I am surprised that we had any remaining!  There are endless ways to use the leftover mashed potatoes; for example salmon cakes, potato tatties, double-baked potato gratin, or Shepherd’s Pie.  A more unique way to use leftover mashed potatoes is in baking, therefore I was inspired to develop a recipe for Asiago Cheese and Chive Scones.  The chives add a distinct savoury flavour to the scones and are a must given that they are fresh from my spring garden.

In one of my Culinary Historians posts during the celebration of Canada150 “The Art of Doing Without,” I wrote about the many uses for the lowly potato during times of austerity. Potato scones, made from leftover mashed potatoes were featured and utilized bacon fat renderings.  They are very delicious and also very attractive with their little flecks of bacon fat showing through the baked layers.  The Asiago Cheese and Chive Scones are a variation of this simple recipe.  The Asiago Cheese and the Greek Yogurt add a layer of tangy flavour to the scone mixture, and the chives give them a fresh spring taste. The appealing flavour and texture will not disappoint!

Savoury Crispy Bacon, Cheese and Green Onion Waffles

By Denise Pare-Watson

My family is very fond of waffles for breakfast or brunch or dinner. We frequently make and freeze double batches of vanilla bean waffles for my grandchildren. They love them reheated for their breakfast. Unflavoured protein powder is often added to the waffle batter for that extra bit of goodness. I have created Gluten Free and Dairy Free Savoury Crispy Bacon, Cheese and Green Onion Waffles for their parents to enjoy (recipe follows).

Savoury Crispy Bacon, Cheese and Green Onion Waffles

Why make waffles? Why not make a pancake? How are waffles and pancakes different? There are actually several factors that differentiate a waffle from a pancake. Waffle batter has more fat and more eggs than a pancake batter. Typically, when making a waffle batter, softly beaten egg whites are folded into the batter, resulting in a lighter and fluffier product. The thick batter is poured onto a heated iron rather than an open pan or griddle.   A waffle is cooked from the bottom and the top at the same time making a crisp and light yet a sturdy shell.

Pancakes have always been a breakfast favourite, however, waffles with their unique honeycomb appearance and crispy texture are unbeatable when smothered in maple syrup.
