WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THAT?! Where I use unique but commonly found ingredients and teach you how to cook with them! This week's ingredient is honeycomb!
As weird (and maybe unappetizing) as these may sound, I'm gonna go down memory lane on this one and share a story with you. When I hated seafood and wouldn't touch it, my father-in-law had this appetizer at a holiday gathering. He is a crazy good cook - like one of the best - and Tres was able to talk me into trying these smoked oyster crackers. And guess what?! Little Miss Picky loved them! I've graduated from my picky stage (thank the good Lord above), and now I'll eat just about anything. But when I didn't think I'd ever like seafood, I liked these. And you will too!
Grocery list:
20-25 fancy, round crackers
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese - room temperature
1 (3 oz) package smoked oysters - drained and rinsed
Hot pepper jelly
Fresh dill
Fleur de sel or Sea Salt
Directions:
Spread a generous amount of cream cheese on each cracker and top with a single smoked oyster. If you don't have enough oysters for each cracker, cut larger ones in half to make extra. Spoon a large dollop of hot pepper jelly over each oyster. Top each with a sprig of dill and sprinkle of fleur de sel. Serve on a white platter for beautiful presentation.
CHERRS TO HAPPY EATING!!!
