ingredients

3 ounces of cashel blue cheese (1 rectangular slice)
3 ounces monterey jack cheese (1 rectangular slice)
3 ounces gouda cheese (1 rectangular slice)
1 leaf phyllo pastry (6 in sq.)
egg wash
2 ounces butter
Salad
¹⁄₂ a peeled carrot
¹⁄₂ a peeled parsnip
¹⁄₂ a courgette (otherwise known as zucchini)
Dressing
1 pinch salt
1 pinch fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon caster sugar
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsmic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs

directions

Make a fine julienne of the vegetables.
Stack the three cheese with the Cashel Blue in the middle.
Wrap in the Filo Pastry and seal the parcel.
Brush with the egg wash.
Place in a small heated oven-safe pan that contains a little oil.
Let it sit while you prepare the dressing. Broil the parcel for five to seven minutes or until the pastry puffs up and turns a lovely golden brown.
Toss the salad in the dressing.
To serve, place the salad on the plate like a small hay stack. Arrange the cheese parcel either on top of the veggies or beside them.
Note: The jack & gouda replace the original cheeses of Milleens and Durras. Both are extremely hard, if not impossible to find in the U.S.

My name is Ami and I share my home with my husband, Carey, our two small sons, James and Charles and our daughters Meradydd (it's pronounced Meradith)and Kathrynn. Until recently, I was a Specialist in the National Guard. I'm pretty eclectic in my studies and I've learned a lot becuase of that since I don't limit myself. Right now I'm taking classes for animal care. I've also been studying a lot about herbalism and really enjoy learning about that. My mother and I also run a home based business for natural soap, balms, etc. We use only the most the natural ingredients available. I'm also a Mary Kay consultant. Busy, huh? :D I love to read and learn new things. My husband says our books will be the death of us. LOL. I love to cook and experiment. I also like to take walks, rain or not.
