I don't know if you would be interested in this. I've had this recipe for sometime on the TRY LIST and decided to make it since the Boursin cheese was BOGO. I made it last night. I was happy with it especially since it was so easy.

I cut the ingredients in half since for just the two of us and there is plenty left over.

POTATO GRATIN WITH BOURSIN
2 cups heavy cream
2 - 5 ounce package Boursin cheese with herbs
3 pounds small red potatoes, thinly sliced (use mandolin)
Salt and Pepper

Butter a 9 x 13 baking dish. In saucepan, melt Boursin cheese with the cream. In the baking dish, layer 1/2 the potatoes, salt and pepper, pour half of the cheese mixture over, and repeat the layers. Bake 1 hour at 400*.

These are both delicious, I love potato casseroles! you could double or triple to feed 20 people.

SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH THREE CHEESES

3/4 cup (packed) grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
3/4 cup crumbled Danish blue cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/3 cup (packed) freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/4 ounces)
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
4 tablespoons (Â§ stick) butter
3 cups whole milk

Preheat oven to 400Â°F. Lightly butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix cheddar cheese, blue cheese and Parmesan in small bowl.

Arrange half of potatoes in prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle onion over, then flour. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle half of cheese mixture over. Top with remaining potatoes, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons butter. Reserve remaining cheese.

Bring milk to simmer in medium saucepan. Pour milk over potatoes (milk will not cover potatoes completely). Cover baking dish tightly with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover dish (liquids in dish may look curdled); sprinkle potatoes with reserved cheese mixture. Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and cheese is deep golden brown, about 45 minutes longer.

(Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Cover and rewarm in 375Â°F oven about 20 minutes.) Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Makes 12 servings.

My notes: I used Gruyere in place of blue chees and it was delish.

So I've got this chunk of Asiago cheese

Thursday nights are CORE night here (Clean Out the Refrigerator - Ewwww!) I had a handful of snow peas, a few stalks of asparagus, some half & half, 1/2 of a red pepper, the last of a hunk of asiago, and a lemon. So I made this: Lemon Shrimp Pasta Fresh asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces (I had about six stalks) Snow peas (I had a handful) 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1/2 pound raw medium shrimp 1/2 cup chopped red pepper 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 cup half & half and 2 cups milk (I use powdered milk and use the shrimp stock for liquid) Zest and juice of 1 lemon 1/2 box (8 oz.) angel hair pasta 1/4 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese 1. Peel the shrimp, and add the shells to 1 cup of water with a dash of white wine. Boil the shells for about 15 minutes and turn off the heat. 2. Lightly steam the asparagus. Drain and set aside. 3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (medium-high heat). Add the red pepper and saute for about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat, and add the half & half, milk and the asparagus. Heat thoroughly. 4. Pick out the shells from the shrimp stock and add the peeled shrimp and the snow peas. Don't heat - the stock should still be hot enough to cook them. 5. Cook the pasta and drain. Return it to the pot and add the sauce and the shrimp. Toss the pasta with the lemon juice and zest. Sprinkle generously with the asiago. Turned out pretty good for a CORE meal! Of course, the half & half was bad (the cats liked it though) so I substituted a can of table cream.

Remove from heat and add: 3 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese Stir until cheese is melted.

Annie & Jasdip, the scalloped potatoes look so inviting. I'd like some with Neely's lamb cutlets. And Jasdip, I'd love a side of your brussel sprouts too. It was time to feed my sourdough starter, so I made another bread recipe that used up discard. This time it was a KAF recipe called 12 Grain Raisin Sourdough. However, I didn't use their 12 grain mixture. Instead I added 1 heaping tablespoon each of sesame, flax, and sunflower seeds, along with cracked wheat, oatmeal, and millet. And I didn't use any raisins. It made a huge loaf. I was in a hurry and didn't take enough time to shape it properly, so the ends are kind of wonky. But the bread tastes really good. Even though I've faithfully fed the sourdough starter, and used the discard in pizza dough and bread, I've yet to actually make an official sourdough loaf. One of these days though...

Elba, thank you. We have decided to add the Creamed Red Cabbage to our Thanksgiving dinner. Also, when I advised my family of what was on the menu, I was told that I had to make my green bean casserole. This is not the one with the canned soup. I will post it here in case any are interested. It really is very, very good. My Fabulous Green Bean Casserole This is the only one my family loves to eat. I have to make it every Thanksgiving. AS 3 cans Blue Lake cut green beans, drained (I use whole green beans) 1 10-oz jar sliced mushrooms, drained 1 large onion, chopped 1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup flour 1 cup whole milk 1 cup heavy cream 3/4 pound shredded cheddar cheese (I use 3 large handfuls) 1 teaspoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon MSG, optional (I use Accent) 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (I use about 4-5 shakes out of the bottle) 1 8-oz can water chestnuts, drained and chopped (I use 4-oz) Put drained beans in a baking dish. Place chopped water chestnuts on top of beans. Sauté mushrooms and onion in 1/2 cup butter. Add flour and mix thoroughly. Add black pepper and MSG. Measure milk and cream into 2 cup measuring cup; add soy sauce, MSG, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce to milk; stir. Pour milk into flour mixture and stir thoroughly. Add cheese and stir to distribute. Pour over green beans in baking dish. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. You can actually cook at a lower temperature for a longer period of time or vice versa; just watch and do not let get real brown. You can also top with a mixture of bread or cracker crumbs and butter before baking. I just don't particularly care for it that way, because the gold from the cheese is so pretty. This is one of those dishes you can also prepare the day before, then just stick in oven before serving. I think it is actually better the second day.

This one's my favorite. Another Craig Claiborne recipe (I posted his moussaka on another thread).

Gratin Dauphinois Chez Lily et Gaby

1 clove garlic, peeled
3 pounds Idaho russet potatoes, peeled and sliced very thin
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups milk
1 1/2 tsps salt [I use much less]
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup grated GruyÃ¨re cheese
1/2 cup crÃ¨me fraiche or heavy cream, preferably not ultrapasteurized

1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Rub the inside of an oval gratin dish about 14 by 9 by 2 inches with garlic, then add the potatoes.
3. Combine the eggs, milk and salt and pour over the potatoes.
4. Bake until the top is crisp and golden, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. [Closer to 1.]
5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the grated cheese, then drizzle with heavy cream.
6. Return to the oven and bake until the top is crisp and golden
