Happy New Year! Braces Friendly Recipe: Week 8

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

We hope everyone is having a great week! Our painter came in today and painted our windows for the new year. We think it's very festive!

This week's braces friendly recipe comes from "The Braces Cookbook" by Pamela and Brenda Waterman (pg 48).

Cheese Pastry Bites

(these are a substitution for hard cheese crackers)

1 cup water

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1 cup all-purpose flour

4 eggs

1 cup Swiss or Cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake an additional 18 minutes.

In a medium saucepan, boil water and butter or margarine until melted together. Remove from heat, let cool for 5 minutes, then stir in flour until completely mixed. Add one egg at a time; the first one will take several minutes to combine, but it will work! Stir in cheeses.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet, 15-18 per sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake an additional 18 minutes. 

Makes about 3 dozen "bites".

We hope everyone enjoys this recipe. If anyone has a recipe they'd like to see featured on our blog email Januari at januari@dunayortho.com.
