Good Luck!
I would love to make a hearty quiche is these little guys :)
Mini gratins!
I have know idea what I wouldmake. I would probably try one of yours
I would love to make our favorite soup, white chicken chili! Perfect for fall and perfect for these to die for dishes! So excited! Thank you! xoxo
Baked Pasta!
French Onion Soup would be first… after that anything goes!
The first thing that comes in mind to what to make with them, i would really make some delicious creamy flan!:D
Oh, pasta. We love different sauces. My husband will have a meat sauce and I love lemon with butter.
Definitely see myself making the “Pumpkin Cinnamon Overnight Pull-Apart French Toast with Vanilla Maple Butter” VERY soon! Pumpkin-y, gooey, cinnamon-y goodness! :)
French onion soup!
I would definitely use these all the time! Particularly for apple crisp!
My husband and I do not always like the same things so I’d use them to make separate veggies for one..like backed broccoli or cheesy cauliflower. Great for servings of French Onion soup too. I make a serving size of baked stuffed shrimp using precooked shrimp topping it with crushed Club crackers mixed with melted butter, fine chopped onion and sometimes a dash of wine to moisten it. Precooked shrimp cuts down on cooking time so it only is in there a short time , LOL he hates shrimp..his loss. Ah yes and mini desserts apple pie..I’d fry my apples in butter with cinnamon and sugar first then top with a piece of crust cook till crust is done. On and on these are so cute with plenty of uses. Can you tell I want to win!
Fondue for two! One chocolate, one cheese :-)
OH man, Mac&cheese would be so yummy in these! Or a molten cake! oh my yum!
Individual vegetarian shepherd’s pie!
hash browns and eggs breakfast cocottes
I would definitely make a dip. My favorite is spinach & artichoke dip. I also think soup would look perfect in these wonderful little cocottes.
