Gee, and I thought a shrimp toast would be "May evade the fish and the fishermen, and may the current always be at your back."
Re: Shrimp Toasts - cjs - 10-08-2008

I'm trying to imagine how this recipe works. How does it puff?

Probably the egg yolks.

Cis, I don't know, but I think labs may be right. I had an old mashed potato casserole that used a small package of cream cheese, egg yolk, and chive that puffed. BUT, I also think the cream cheese has a little to do with it, too. Think about a cheesecake.
Thanks again, Jean! This sounds so good! I'm testing this for holiday menu really soon!

Even more, think about a soufflé, omelet, Yorkshire pudding, etc., or even just the difference an egg makes in a cookie dough.
