This recipe was adapted from “Party Receipts from the Charleston Junior League” cookbook, 1993 edition. If you’ve been reading this blog from the beginning, you already know that I totally love Junior League cookbooks. I suppose women in the Junior League (especially in decades past) hosted parties and luncheons and ended up collecting the very best recipes. Who knows?
If you ever come across a cookbook from any Junior League, be sure to buy it – I’ll bet anything that the recipes you find within will surprise you.
Examples of good cooking from my Junior League Cookbook collection.
From “Soupcon – Seasonal samplings form the Junior League of Chicago” - 1974
From “Clockwise Cuisine- Junior League of Detroit” -1986:

ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to try this one. I have only 1 other recipe that calls for Beau Monde seasoning - you don't see many of those.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, Tracy! Between this and MLive, you are doing a great job...keep up the good work.
@Debbie, yes this cheese is really nice and crisp tasting. It's great smeared on chicken breasts which have been pounded thin, then rolled up and baked.
ReplyDelete@Sue, thanks for the nice note! I really don't even know what's in Beau Monde..... Had to buy a new jar just for this recipe. My old one was , well, let's just say... really, really old!
I thought I posted about this recipe...hmmm...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE boursin, but it's sort of pricey at the grocery store. This recipe is great...definitely saving!!!
