Ode to Ramekins!


My coworker told me today that she bought ramekins, and boy did that start a 30 minute conversation dedicated to the endless possibilities of ramekin use!

Here is what we came up with:
- Molten Lava Cakes (of course)
- Potatoe Gratin (thank you Melissa d'Arabian)
- Bread Pudding
- Mini meatloafs
- Mini lasagnas
- Anything baked and mini (like I said ... the possibilities are actually endless)

Doesn't this just make your mind reel?!?

So, I had a fabulous idea that I'd like to try some day. If you are having a dinner party, do a ramekin tasting! For example, if you have just 2 people, make a main, a side, and a dessert ... all in ramekins! GENIOUS! I'm going to do it.

Here's my menu:
Main - Mini/Individual Meatloaf
Side - Potato Gratin
Dessert - Sticky Toffee Bread Pudding w/brown sugar sauce

DONE! LOVE IT!
