Glasses of cheese, apple and goose breast
Glasses have long been a passion of mine! They’re so convenient I’d never give them up - except for something even more convenient. They look great, are very elegant and contain individual portions - what more could you want? :)
These particular ones are French, from a lovely book, Verrines toutes fraîches !: a constant source of inspiration!
They’re very easy, because they are simply made from a layer of ricotta mixed with plenty of grated Parmesan cheese, a layer of sliced apples cooked for a short time in the microwave (“Surely not!! You cooked them in the microwave???” Yes, you can also cook them in a frying pan, but they don’t turn out the same!), with a little lemon juice, then covered. The last layer is made from slices of seasoned goose breast: a typical delicacy commonly found in France, but hard to come by in Italy! But we, obviously, have managed to get our hands on some!!!
Wow! Looks amazing I really love the apple peel on the top. It gives this dish a splash of color. Wonderful!!

Sounds delicious. I actually thought this was a dessert when I first saw the picture.

@Chuck: those are not apple peel, but thin duck fillets! :)
