Brocolli, blue chesse tarte

Torta de brocoli capa Ing 2

I've been busy all week. Spending time in checking my Christmas tree stuffs

I don’t know why, but all year happen the same thing, the rice lights insist in don’t work, and every year I've wasted my time and money on buying new ones. But Christmas is my favorite holyday and is once time in the year. So, I do those things with joy.

I’ve been planning Christmas’s eve dinner, Christmas brunch and shopping too.

And testing new recipes.

One of them is this tart made with philo dough and filled with blue cheese; broccoli and sprinkle with Sardo cheese. I love the texture, crunchy outside and creamily fill inside .And the most important, it was approved by my husband :)
