Creme Brulee - Feast Your Eyes


It may be one of the most perfect desserts in existence. At its base, custard: what's not to like about a decadent combination of cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla? The creamy, sumptuous taste and texture is the bedrock of sweets the world over. Next, a sprinkling of coarse sugar: add an open flame and you have a delicately crisp, caramelized crust that could bring even the most rational person to their knees with its startling depth of flavor.

It's safe to say the French know what they're doing in the kitchen--now you give it a try with a coffee-flavored version.

Crab Wontons - Feast Your Eyes

Entertaining guests for New Year's? These bite-sized seafood purses, often referred to as crab rangoon, are a longstanding party favorite.

The soft texture of lump crab meat and cream cheese meets the crisp texture of deep-fried wontons for an appetizer that will delight your Champagne-drinking guests.

Wonton wrappers surround a savory filling of "6 ounces crab meat, 4 ounces cream cheese and a ton of Old Bay to season with," before being fried.

Might as well get one more fried thing in before the 2010 weight-loss resolutions begin.

Turkey Chili - Feast Your Eyes

You feasted on turkey yesterday -- and might be doing so for the next week if your leftovers are particularly abundant. While the flavors of the Thanksgiving spread are delightful, after a few days you may find your taste buds tiring of turkey sandwiches and reheated leftovers of the same dishes. Why not reimagine your leftovers by adding different flavors altogether?

That's exactly what Elana's Pantry did. Her Turkey Chili recipe is a simple, fuss-free concoction, combining typical Thanksgiving leftovers (turkey, carrots, onion and broth) with roasted poblano peppers, cumin and oregano with some zingy fresh cilantro. An added bonus for post-Thanksgiving bloated bellies: the flavorful, brothy serving will satisfy without stuffing.

A Bottle of White - Feast Your Eyes

Thanksgiving is about turkey, stuffing and sweet potatoes (or yams, depending on who you ask). But it's also about finding an affordable wine to go along with such a feast -- especially if the host is calculating a pound of turkey and a bottle of wine per person (as any good Turkey Day host or hostess should).

This beautiful bottle of 2005 Sauvignon Blanc, captured by Flickr user stevesteve8383, would certainly do the trick ... though we might have to do a little taste test just to make sure.

Creamy Baked Eggs with Tarragon - Feast Your Eyes

Though most of us enjoy refined, flavorful brunches, many of us aren't willing to commit more effort into the morning endeavor beyond pouring milk into a bowl of cereal or toasting and buttering some bread.

Thanks to blogger the Gouda Life, we're inspired by this oh-so-simple recipe for Baked Eggs with Butter, Cream and Tarragon. Its raw version pictured tells it all: You have but to pour enough cream into a ramekin until the bottom is covered, add one tablespoon butter, one tablespoon tarragon (you may chop it if you care to take the time), two carefully cracked eggs, and salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through and are no longer runny -- aside from the yolk. You'll happily savor this comforting morning pick-me-up. Topping this easy dish with some grated cheese might elevate it even closer to perfection.
