Posted on by

After meeting my friend Melissa and her mom at The Smile, a restaurant downtown on Bond St. (If you haven’t been — Go. Now.) I could not stop craving their Manouri Cheese & Fig sandwich.
AND SO… I decided to make my own!

What’s in it?
Sourdough bread – I used French bread
Pear
Arugula
Manouri Cheese – I substituted this with Ricotta Salata
Fig Spread

Tis delicious. Try it. Also, visit The Smile.

Recipe: Honey Lavender Ice Cream

Yes, please!
Ingredients
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup dried lavender
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
Directions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, lavender, and honey. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and remove from heat. Let steep for 5 minutes. Strain mixture, reserving milk and discarding lavender.
  2. Combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, return milk to a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  3. Add half the milk to egg-yolk mixture, and whisk until blended. Stir mixture into remaining milk, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  4. Remove from heat, and immediately stir in cream. Strain mixture into a medium mixing bowl set in an ice-water bath, and let stand until chilled, stirring from time to time. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions. Store in an airtight plastic container up to 2 weeks.
