With all the trouble that Paula Dean is experiencing, I feel like someone needs to step up and help fill in. I have decided to start my own cook book and I know it will lead into a TV show or some kind of stardom that will take the heat off Paula. Keep in mind, I am only doing this as a last resort to a the fellow southerner... even though I spent the majority of my life in southern denial. So here is my first recipe and I am sure my introduction to a new career!!!
Cooking with Jeanie… or
Jeanie’s Kitchen Successes Part One
Toasted Cheesy Rolls
1 Kaiser Roll
Tub “This can’t be butter”
(or whatever the correct name is) - light version
2 pieces of Pre-sliced
cheese
Knife for cutting roll
(unless you are lucky enough to find pre-cut Kaiser Rolls)
Plastic knife for spreading
“This can’t be butter”
Toaster oven
Aluminum foil
V8 Juice (I recommend Low
Sodium… we have to watch what we eat)
Plastic glass for juice
Directions:
Pour V8 Juice in plastic
juice glass. Set aside.
Most toaster ovens come with
a little tray, remove from oven and cover with enough aluminum foil so that
none of the little tray is exposed.
On paper plate, cut Kaiser Roll
in half.
Using plastic knife, spread
enough “This can’t be butter” on both halves of roll so that the margarine will
melt down into the roll. Set plastic
knife aside for later disposal.
Put one piece of pre-sliced
cheese on each half.
Place each half on the
little tray from the toaster over (that you have all ready covered with aluminum
foil). NOTE: It is important that you do this and NOT
put paper plate with halved Kaiser rolls in the toaster oven.
Once rolls on little tray
are securely in toaster over… set to toast for however long it takes for the
cheese on top to get bubbly.
Once buzzer goes off
announcing the completion of the toasting cycle, remove little tray from
toaster over.
It is better to put little
tray on oven hot mitt so that your counter doesn’t burn… not that it really
will burn but I prefer to be safe in all kitchen activities.
Remove rolls from little
tray. I have found the easiest way is to
hold sides of the aluminum foil and slide rolls on to the paper plate you used
to slice the roll on. If you reuse the
paper plate in this manner, you are helping to save trees.
Wrap plastic knife in
leftover aluminum foil. Put in trash.
Move paper plate & V8
juice to where ever you want to eat.
You are now ready for a
delicious breakfast! Plus there is
nothing left to clean!!!
(Yes, the little tray has to
be put away once it has cooled down… but since it was covered in aluminum foil,
there isn’t any reason to clean it!)
(Oh yeah… the knife you use
to cut the Kaiser Rolls may need to be rinsed off… but since it only touched
bread, a simple water wash is fine.)
Once finished, the paper
plate and the plastic cup for the V8 can be put in the recycle bin to help the
environment.
