Happy Tuesday, and you are invited to lunch !

Hello and Happy Tuesday
I thought I would invite you to lunch (virtually speaking of course)
I hope you may enjoy one of these ...


Coconut Camembert
enjoyable as a light lunch, or starter.

Ingredients
Serves 2
½ Camembert cheese,
1 egg, beaten,
2 tbsp. fine desiccated coconut,
olive oil for frying,
30g baby spinach,
5 cherry tomatoes,
10 slices cucumber,
40g berries of your choice,
balsamic vinegar, to serve

Method
1. Cut the cheese into 4 wedges; dip each wedge in beaten egg and then coconut to coat.

2. Heat the oil in a small pan and cook wedges for 30-60 seconds each side until golden brown.

3. Make a salad by tossing together the spinach, tomatoes, cucumber and berries
and serve cheese wedges on top, drizzled with vinegar.

These look so good Jan!

I just found close to 400 comments from various blogger friends in my spam folder, including many of yours. So annoying to just realize this after months. I read and approved the comments that were being moderated and never thought they were being approved and moved to the spam folder!
