Julia - I do not think your books are suited for me. This is why I waited until I was with Catherine to attempt a recipe.
I think we succeeded! Evidence...
I think I will stick to the basics for now, though. Below are our steps along the way:
 |
| Spinach and scallions... |
 |
| Making the sauce... |
 |
| Separating the eggs... |
 |
| Swiss cheese...the more the merrier... |
 |
| Adding yolks to the sauce... |
 |
| Egg whites...the main ingredient.... |
 |
| Mixing it all before we... |
 |
| Slowly folded in egg whites... |
 |
| More egg whites... |
 |
| Lining the pan with cheese and butter...Catherine noted to butter in the upwards direction to encourage it to rise... |
 |
| Catherine also showed me another trick. By scraping the edge of the pan with your finger, it will rise upward more than outward. |
 |
| Impatiently waiting...30 minutes FINALLY. Yes, we got to eat at 10. It was a long day and a late start! |
 |
| Example of patiently waiting... |
 |
| And the result! |
Catherine just came back from France a couple weeks ago so this was perfect. We thought about macaroons but for some reason they scare me. I think I will eventually get over it...
