These three amuse-bouche with ham, shrimp, and goat cheese recipes are very delicious. A spoon with chicory and shrimp, duck breast, and ham cream cheese, and a glass with goat cheese, ham, and pine nuts. A delicious combination. Great to serve as a starter with Christmas or Easter.
It was time for our monthly food blog swap and I was very happy when I was assigned to Myriam's blog called hapentap. I've been following Myriam for a long time, because her blog has great recipes.
So there I started, digging through the blog and believe me it wasn't easy. I just loved almost all of them. But this recipe stuck my eye.
By the way, another fun fact: Myriam had assigned my blog and made the Chimney cake. A super tasty recipe and Myriam was also fond of it (luckily!).
