Robin and Danielle have challenged food bloggers to a Recipe Remix. They gave us a list of classic dishes and called upon us to choose one of them to remake. I decided to take on my favorite of the list: Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup. I decided to take it on a sweeter, breakfast or dessert twist. Hence the glorious creation that is Grilled Cream Cheese and Strawberry Soup.
I did enjoy this remix. It tastes nothing like the classic, but it is still very tasty. It makes for a very filling breakfast and you know you are getting in some fruit for the day. Sadly, the picky eater of the family has been out of town for the last month so I did not get his feedback. This would probably be something that would work for kids too. I mean, how often do you get to eat bright pink foods?
Thanks to Danielle and Robin for hosting this and check out their blog for the round-up.
Enjoy!
Grilled Cream Cheese Sandwich
The recipe for the Grilled Cream Cheese Sandwich is very simple and starts with your favorite version of Banana Bread. I used the bread that I recently blogged about, my Better Banana Bread.
Ingredients
- 2 slices Banana Bread
- 2 Tbs. Cream Cheese
- 1 Tbs. Sugar
- 2 tsp. Butter
The Steps
- Take two slices of your favorite banana bread and lightly butter the outsides.
- In a bowl, mix together 2 Tbs cream cheese with 1 Tbs sugar.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture between the two slices of the banana bread.
- Grill the cream cheese sandwich in a saute pan over medium heat.
- Remove from the pan when the outsides are slightly crisp and the cream cheese starts to melt.
Strawberry Soup
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Strawberries; green topped removed
- 2 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/8 tsp. ground cardamom
The Steps
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until soup consistency. If you wish for an even smoother texture, add water 1/4 cup at a time.
