Oatmeal Burger Buns

 

 


This month, the Babes are baking Oatmeal Burger Buns, thanks to Elizabeth from blog from OUR kitchen.  The recipe is rather a blend of several recipes, and the end result is a delicious roll that is good plain, toasted, or used as part of a sandwich. I chose to leave the tops plain, but did brush them with an egg wash.

 


In my case, I made a chicken BLT.  With all the layers (chicken, cheese, sauce, golden shallots, bacon, tomato slice, and lettuce), it made for challenging, slippery, juicy bite, but definitely a delicious one.

 

For the story behind the recipe and the recipe itself, head over to Elizabeth's ever entertaining website

 

Do be sure to stop by the websites of the other Babes as well.

TWD/BWD: Little Marvels

 


Do you ever have extra egg whites?  Then, Little Marvels are the perfect dessert.  These are like little fairy treats, discs of meringue that are filled and frosted with whipped cream and coated with crunchy bits.

For mine, I spread a layer of melted dark chocolate over the bottom meringue disc before adding a few spoonfuls of whipped cream. The chocolate layer set up very firmly, adding to the challenge of eating it.


 

After I frosted the meringues, I coated them with bits of chocolate wafer cookies that I had recently made.  I gave it a quick 10-minute chill in the freezer before devouring it.  These are fun treats that can be made ahead of time, and even frozen.

Stop by the Tuesdays with Dorie website to see which dessert the other bakers made this week.
