Recipes for little dishes

Kimia

I just bought two of these:



and i need some recipes to fill them!

So besides potato gratin, what else can I make in these? I have thought of baked eggs, if anyone has a nice recipe?

What else would be good in these adorable little portion sized things?

Faith

It's hard to tell exactly what size they are from that picture. I'd go with individual portions of big things, probably, like little individual shepherd's pies and the like.

Dinkie

If they are the same size as the ones I have, I use them for dips mainly. They look soo cute.

You could also putting little tapas's in them like chorizo braised in cider or red wine (bake in oven)

olaola

Shepards pie, lasanga, moussaka, fish pie, chicken & broccoli bake - all that kind of stuff (Think the Avoca self service restaurant)
And desserts too - like chocolate pots, creme brulee etc.

Oleander

Here is a nice recipe for Eggs Cocotte (tried and tested) - they're Baked Eggs - Serves 4.


60g fresh spinach, chopped (doesn't need cooking first)
4 eggs
4 tablespoons milk
75g parmesan cheese, grated
Sea salt and black pepper

Grease the dishes with little butter.

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

Divide the spinach between the prepared ramekins or bowls.

Crack an egg on top, add a spoonful of milk to each, then season and top with the parmesan.

Put the ramekins or bowls on a baking tray in the preheated oven and cook for 6 minutes.

Serve with crusty bread.

Note: I added bacon and mushrooms at diff stages of cooking this but I think it's just nice as the recipe is. If you like this, I have another recipe for Baked Eggs with Smoked Salmon & Chives but haven't tried that one yet.

They are mini-casserole dishes (adorable)!

I love the sound of all those things and thanks for the baked eggs recipe. I will give that a go.
