There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Testing - Garlic Scape Quiche

http://fiddleheadcreek.com/cooking-with-garlic-scapes/

1 - I am curious about the maple syrup and am charmed at the fresh tarragon, though I doubt it will be enough. I am making 3 quiches, and will try different quantities in each to see what most pleases.

1 blind-baked pie crust
1 1/2 cups of garlic scapes, cut in small pieces (a few left long for decoration
1 tablespoon of butter
1 tablespoon of maple syrup
1 teaspoon of fresh tarragon
1 cup of grated cheddar
4 eggs
1/2 cup of  cream
1/2 cup of milk
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. 
  2. Sauté garlic scapes in butter until tender. 
  3. (Optional, sauté a few whole scapes and set aside)
  4. Remove from heat and add the maple syrup, tarragon, salt and pepper to taste. 
  5. Layer the mixture in the bottom of the crust and cover with the cheese. 
  6. Beat the eggs, milk and cream and pour over the filling. 
  7. (Optional, half way through the baking, lay a whole sauteed scape on top for decoration.)
  8. Cook for 35 minutes or until brown on top.
