If you’ve never had strata, it’s the perfect Christmas morning treat as most of the work is done ahead of time, and it’s a hearty, warming dish ideal for a cold winter morning. This spin on a family favorite ups the flavor with a homemade mushroom cream sauce and crispy shallots!
This rich and creamy lobster mac and cheese blends fresh Maine lobster with over a pound of Cabot cheddar and gouda. Ina’s recipe gets a cozy upgrade with cavatappi pasta and crisp, buttery breadcrumbs. It’s the ultimate comfort food – bubbly, golden, and perfect for the holidays or any indulgent dinner.
Ina’s Ham & Leek Empanadas are incredibly simple to prepare, using store-bought puff pastry filled with a delicious combination of ham, gruyere cheese, spinach, leek, basil, parmesan, and creme fraiche. A bake in the oven results in golden brown, super flakey parcels with so much melty goodness inside.
