Cheese cakes with green peas and lemon zest Bashny.Net

When the sun begins to warm and the gray color over the winter city, the birds begin to Twitter as something desperately and hastily, in the air, something changes and it becomes like a haze, then just know spring is inevitable.

And while she is preparing for a decisive offensive, it is necessary to prepare yourself and to her. March days are always days of Mimosa, smelling shrill and clear, deafening her furry balls bright yellow. The color of the Mimosa as a promise of imminent spring. Add the same color and light on our table, enough muted winter colors.





When possible, we like to have Breakfast later, slowly and thoroughly. Nice to sit with a Cup of coffee and a croissant somewhere in a cosy café with views of Moscow (and even better – Paris) street. But it's still rather an exception, and a homemade Breakfast is different.

For example, cheesecake is one of the most popular options for the morning meal not only in our house, right? Such a familiar dish sometimes want to do new, unusual and bright. And today they remind us with their color Mimosa, but there will be savory for brunch.

In General, we quite often make cheese that is savory, we like. For example, with greens. Or with herbs and sun-dried tomatoes. Or, as in this time – with the green peas and lemon zest, bright yellow and pretty.





These pancakes we love and do with a variety of additives, depending on the mood. The main problem here, not what to put here, and some of the cheese to make. In recent years we have cottage cheese has a quite complicated relationship, its quality is highly unstable, and the familiar and proven brand sometimes give a completely inappropriate result, unfortunately.

It seems to be the cheese of good consistency, and the dough for the cheesecakes is correct, but in the pan they start to foam, to burn or just be soggy. Just remember palm oil, damn it. The market cheese is an option, of course, but off-budget. So we continue to try and look.
