Fallin’ in love Mousse pie

I saw this recipe in the newspaper. The Article recreated some recipes from the movie Waitress (2007). The waitress in question and protagonist of the film created the pies and gave them names according to the stage that she was living the life. Among other pies had the "I hate my husband" with chocolate and caramel that it is also very good. I watched the movie some time later quite by chance, even worth it. I decided to make this mousse cake these days because it has too much chocolate and felt like chocolate. Let the recipe:

Cordon Bleu e confit de legumes bayaldi

I saw this recipe in a TV show in Brazil called Diario do Olivier. In addition to being a formidable appearance he made all the preparation in less than 30 minutes. I found it a good choice for a midweek dinner. Something tasty that doesn’t require too much work. The original Cordon Bleu is with beef, but this version with chicken breast was a great idea. As a side he made a confit of vegetables bayaldi, which is also very easy. Here it goes the recipe for 2 people. 

Cordon Bleu Ingredients 
2 pieces of chicken breast 
2 slices of ham 
4 slices of brie cheese

In a bowl, beat egg and add a pinch of salt to season. Dip the chicken in the mixture and then in breadcrumbs. Fry on low heat in olive oil. The frying time is about 10 minutes on each side, so the fire must be very low even. If necessary, remove the pan from oven sometimes to prevent burning.

Veggies on the Grill

This is a good recipe that can either be an appetizer to a dinner or as a main course, especially if it is a vegetarian food. I did it another day when I got home and felt like something different and light for dinner. I opened the refrigerator and pulled out all the vegetables I found. I used tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and onions, but could have put leeks, pepper and maybe even have a pre-cooked sweet potatoes. 
    
Ingredients
4 tomato slices cut about 1cm 
4 slices of eggplant cut 1 cm 
4 zucchini slice with 0.5 cm 
4 slices of onion or red onion, cut into 0.5 cm 
2 chunks of goat cheese or any other cheese that melts slightly 
Salt, Pepper, Basil 
Olive oil 
50 ml Balsamic Oil
  
Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste. Spend oil all around them. Putting olive oil in the food and not in pot will reduce the level of smoke in your kitchen. Sprinkle the cheese with olive oil and oregano. 
  
Put everything in a grid in the oven and cook on both sides. Use a grill pan and not a standard because it makes all the difference. 
  
Place the olive oil balsamic in a saucepan, boil and reduce to about half. 
This will cause it to be thicker and sweeter too. 
  
Another thing I do is my own crouton. I use any bread that I have at home, cut them into cubes and place in oven until they are baked. 
  
When the vegetables and cheese are grilled on both sides put in the dish. Place a slice of tomato in front of another and the eggplant on the side. 
Place the zucchini on top of tomatoes and onions on top of the eggplants. Place the cheese on top of everything and pour the reduced balsamic sauce, a little more olive oil and croutons. 
  
Bon Appetit!
