So I did not think I would be hungry this evening but in fact I decided I did need a little something something. I happened to be reading Zahav and came across a recipe for Baked Kashkaval with Sweet Tomato Relish and Eggyolks. Yeah, no kidding, you don't find Kashkaval on Manitoulin Island. But the other option given was a British cheddar. Well you don't find British cheddars on Manitoulin Island either. But in our refrigerator, thanks to Kerry Beal, was a nice hunk of Cabot extra sharp cheddar. Perfectly adequate for my purposes. I have to tell you this one is a winner. Here is the only link I could find to an online version of the recipe. I modified the ingredients to make a single serving. I am so chuffed to have found a recipe this good using basically eggs and cheese. Everything it calls for is usually in my house and if the fresh tomatoes are not available the option of canned is given. Crusty bread would have been nice but soft, unsubstantial rolls had to do.
My biggest worry was what this might do to the seasoning on the little cast iron pan that is here. After all it's not mine. It appears to have emerged unscathed.
Really there is nothing difficult or time-consuming about this. Once you've made it you realize how quickly you can pull it together. OK I'm done waxing rhapsodic about this dish. But if you don't try it and you love all the ingredients, you're really missing out. Just saying.
