Dinner with Neighbours

My friend is away on a girls weekend in New York City, so we decided to have her hubby and daughter for dinner. Last time they were over I had made a multi-course meal and it impressed her daughter so much that she wanted to make one at home; so of course, I had to indulge again! This is the menu:

• Escargot en Profiterole (drenched in Garlic, Parsley Butter)
• Mushroom Velouté with Truffle Oil  Drizzle and Garlic Crostini
• Retro Deviled Egg
• Balsamic Poached Pear, Prosciutto, Blue Cheese and Endive with a balsamic reduction
• Barley Risotto with Asparagus and Shrimp
• Old Fashioned Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream or Aged Cheddar

Retro Deviled Eggs

 

• 2 hard boiled eggs, pealed and cut in half length-wise, yolks removed and reserved
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp green onion finely chopped
• 1 tsp capers

1. Mix egg yolk, mayo, green onion and capers until creamy.
2. Put this mixture into a pipping bag with the largest star-shaped nozzle.
3. Pipe even amounts of this mixture into each yolk hole.
4. Sprinkle smoked paprika to decorate the pipped mixture.
5. Serve on mini individual plates, between courses.
