From the New Issue

HI

Yesterday I made the hashbrowns/asparagus with brie dish from the new issues. We both loved it. Would make it again for sure. Great dish for a company too.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup asparagus tips
1/2 cup Brie -- rind removed; softened
1 tablespoon heavy cream -- half and half
1 tablespoon fresh chives -- minced
salt and pepper -- to taste
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter -- divided
1 pound russet potatoes -- shredded, rinsed, and dried

For the filling, simmer asparagus in a skillet with water to cover until crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Drain asparagus and rinse with cold water until cool to the touch.

Whip Brie and cream in a a bowl with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in chives; season with salt and pepper.

For the potatoes, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Add 1 T butter and swirl in skillet to keep from burning.

Add potatoes once butter is no longer foamy. Press potatoes with a spatula into a disk.

Cook potatoes (without stirring) until golden on the edges, 7-8 minutes.

Slide hash browns onto a large plate, cover with another plate, then invert so browned side is up.

Add 1 T butter to skillet to melt. Slide hash browns back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Cook over medium-high until golden brown, 5-6 minutes.

Place asparagus on half the hash brown. Spoon half the Brie mixture over asparagus; season with salt and pepper.

Fold the unfilled hash brown over asparagus filling. Let omelet stand 1 minute to allow cheese to melt and asparagus to warm.

Cut omelet in half for two servings. Garnish each serving with a dollop of remaining whipped Brie.

Description:
"To supplement the filling, add leftover ham or cooked chicken."

I thought this looked delicious, but the calorie count was too high for me!

I would love for C@H to do one issue 100% vegetarian, another issue 100% carb free, and the last one Lactose and Gluten Free.

Now there's a great challenge and would target other markets
