Creekside Custard Cups Recipes

MAPLE SYRUP CUSTARD CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk eggs in a bowl until lightly beaten. Add milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract; gently beat until incorporated. Pour mixture into six 1/4-cup ramekins. Arrange ramekins in a baking dish. Pour enough water into baking dish to cover ramekins halfway up the sides.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center of a custard comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove ramekins from baking dish and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 1 hour.

LIMPIN SUSAN

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bacon to drain on paper towels. Add the shrimp to the bacon fat and cook until just barely seared, about 4 minutes. Remove to a separate plate. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Stir in the onion and garlic. Cook until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the okra to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice (this will help cut the slime). Stir in the rice and saute until the onion is lightly browned, about 3 minutes more. Add chicken stock, salt and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to loosen any browned bits in the bottom of the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and add the shrimp back to the skillet. Cover and cook until the rice is tender and cooked through, about 20 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of cooking time, use a fork to stir the bacon into the rice. Fluff and serve.

Sprinkle with nutmeg. , Place cups in a 9-in. square baking pan. Fill pan with hot water to a depth of 1 in. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

CUSTARD CUPS

Steps:

Pour into six ungreased 4-oz. microwave-safe custard cups. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-1/2-4-1/2 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

TWIRLY TORNADO CHIPS

Steps:

• Pour the oil to reach halfway up the sides of a Dutch oven. Heat to 365 degrees F.
• While the oil heats up, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove to paper towels to drain. Crumble once cooled.
• Using a spiralizer, twist the sweet potatoes through the blade. As the potato is spiralized, use kitchen shears to snip the spirals into long lengths. (If you don't do this, the potato will stay connected.)
• Add the potatoes, in batches, to the hot oil and fry until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to drain. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
• To serve, transfer the potatoes to a serving platter. Drizzle with sour cream and hot sauce. Sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and chives. Serve immediately.

NO-BAKE RASPBERRY PRETZEL CUPS

• Stir together the chopped raspberries and granulated sugar in a medium bowl.
• Divide the pretzel mixture evenly in the bottom of 4 parfait cups. Top evenly with the cheesecake filling, followed by the berries. Garnish each with whipped cream, a pretzel twist and a raspberry.

STRAWBERRY-ARUGULA SALAD IN CRISPY PARMESAN CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat. Turn a muffin tin upside down and coat the bottoms with nonstick cooking spray. Form 3 (1/3-cup) mounds of Parmesan cheese on the silicone mat and pat out each to a 5-inch circle. Bake until the cheese melts and is browned and bubbly, 5 to 6 minutes. Working with one circle at a time, quickly lift each round of cheese to the muffin tin, gently pressing the edges to create a dome. Repeat the process with the remaining cheese. Set aside to cool.
• Whisk together the honey, vinegar, shallot and garlic in a small bowl. Gradually add the olive oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
