Cleo's Best Batard Ever!

Well, I finally figured out how to transfer photos from the memory stick to computer! (turns out it's actually pretty easy!) and I can finally start sharing a few of my homemade recipes.

This is one I have been dying to share with you! It is a MASSIVE favourite of Shan and myself and it's surprisingly cheap for what it is (thanks to Cleo's Deli on Ormond Rd in Elwood) and tastes like heaven! I will call it the Cleo's Best Batard EVER!

Ta Da! Here it is, The Cleo's Best Batard EVER!! Now before I tell you what's in it, let me just explain a little bit more about Cleo's Deli, because we just LOVE it! Cleo's is a deli on Ormond Rd in Elwood that has an amazing special offer of 4 items for $10 or 6 for $15 from the RED section of their fridge or shelves at the front door. The fridge is full of a selection of meats, cheeses, antipasto, dips, sauces, spreads, desserts and more. The front shelf is packed full of nuts, crackers, sweet biscuts, tuna and more. There is honestly nothing better than having an AWESOME deli down the road from home!

Ok, back to the Batard now, the actual roll is a Red Onion and Parmesan Batard, it is incredible! So light on the inside with a nice crunchy crust! Then I fill it with basil pesto, red pesto, onion jam, semi sun-dried tomatos, mixed olives, feta cheese and marinated artichoke. All ingredients can be brought from Cleo's but some are not in stock constantly, if this is the case we can get whatever we need from the supermarket next door. The picture shown is a third of a batard, as they are about a foot long you can either cut them up to share as a snack, or just cut it in half and you have a delicious lunch!  
If you don't have a deli near you a supermarket should stock all the ingredients needed to make something similar. Leave a comment if you have some more good ideas on what to put in my next one ;)

Toast Checkers!

This one here is a simple and extremely tasty breakfast treat that goes down really well with a coffee on a cold Melbourne Sunday!

It's my Toast Checkers and it is as easy to make as it is delicious to eat!
All you need is:

Bread
Mushrooms (10-15)
Spinach (about 100g)
2 Cloves of garlic
1 Heaped Tblsp Sesame seeds
200ml Milk
1 Heaped tsp flour
50g butter/nuttalex
Salt & Pepper
1Tblsp Sesame oil
  

Method: 
All you need to do is, slice the mushrooms thinly and throw them in a frying pan with the butter and a decent pinch of salt, let that fry for about a minute or two before adding the milk and a pinch of cracked pepper.
Let that simmer away for around 5-10 minutes until the the milk has turned a dark creamy colour, then sprinkle in the flour to thicken the sauce (You may not need all the flour) add extra salt and pepper to taste!

For the spinach, chop the 2 garlic cloves finely and throw in a frying pan with the sesame oil, add the sesame seeds and the spinach leaves, sprinkle with salt and cook for about 60 seconds and you're done!

Butter the toast, add toppings in a checkers pattern, and enjoy!

The Journey Begins

Now, it all started about a week ago when myself and my lovely girlfriend had a week off work and thought, what better way to spend our holiday than to go on a food bender through Melbourne! Unfortunately, we don't actually have any photos of all the delicious food we sampled over the last week as we had not yet planned to start a blog (hence the 'Sudden Urges' in the blog title), but don't worry, we will just have to go back to all the awesome places we visited again and take a few snap shots then! :)

But for now I'm sure I can at least tell you all about the yummy food that we have had, and as soon as I get my memory stick to work in this bloody computer (I'm a good cook but crap on computers) I will have a few lovely home cooked recipes to share with you as well.

Okay, where were we? That's right, I was about to tell you all about our awesome food adventure. It begins after watching Masterchef's New York special when we decided, we MUST have bagels! So off we set to Bagelicious on Glenhuntly Road in Elsternwick.

Admittedly the service was a little poor - even slightly patronising - but the bagels were delicious and the coffee was pretty good too. I had the roast beef with swiss cheese on a parmesan and spinach bagel, while my girlfriend Shannon went for the classic smoked salmon and cream cheese on a rye bagel. Both bagels came with a small container of pickles which went perfectly with both of our bagels, Shannon said that the smoked salmon worked perfectly on the rye and my bagel was undoubtedly the best roast beef "sandwich" I have had in a long time if not ever. I had originally wanted the pastrami, but as we got there about 3pm a lot of the fillings were already gone, so if you would like to check it out yourself make sure you get in early!
