.....well, it's really an Asparagus Popover but it looks more like a fritatta to me. I feel like a popover should have a thicker crust but that's just my opinion. Maybe if I made this in a slightly bigger pan there would have been more extension of the crust, but it's water under the bridge at this point.
We could call it a Po-tatta? No? Either way it doesn't matter, it was good. It calls for gruyere cheese. Anything with gruyere is pretty much fine by me. I'm easy to please. The recipe does say you can substitute Swiss for the gruyere but really, why would you? It's not going to be the same.
This is a great brunch item. Simple to make, easy to find ingredients. I suppose you could have it for dinner too. It would be fabulous with a salad and a glass of wine.
On Sundays, we stroll over to the farmers’ market along Columbus Avenue. It starts around the Museum of Natural History and meanders south a few blocks. The farmers set their stalls up on the sidewalk with their trucks parked along the avenue behind them.
A friend who is a good cook complains, "I'm too busy to cook. I get home from work and tell my family let's go out or order in."
Of course I’m as broke as the next girl, but as I was waiting for my car to get serviced, I decided to treat myself for having to suffer two hours in Santa Monica. I called a friend and she suggested Huckleberry. I had only been there one other time and the breakfast was completely fabulous, so I was excited to try it again. But on this last visit, the service was verging just on the brink of truly awful (like surprised that the people in line "actually want to order something" awful) and the ready-made salads (which are even more expensive than they are at Joan's on Third) looked as if they had been sitting out way too long and that they might not have been that great in the first place.
