Whisk Wednesday: Cornish Hens w Cream & Apples

I dragged my feet on this meal. Fruit and meat. Not a favorite. Apples? But this IS Whisk Wednesday and my desire to delve deep into French cooking. What better way is there to do that than by following Le Cordon Bleu At Home?

Beautiful meal. Actually, wonderful tasting too. A roasted cornish hen is served over circle croutons and plated with baked apples and a cream sauce that is highlited with apple brandy. We loved it! It was a fun dish to make too. I will definitely be cutting those croutons again. Not only were they pretty, but they absorbed just the right bit of sauce and really made this dish come together.

I loved the croutons too to help soak up more of the sauce. I want to try it again with regular, old chicken!

Oh, this looks beautiful, Melissa. You did a really nice job on this. I agree, those croutons were perfect for soaking up just a little bit of juice...it was such fun to cut them out and toast them up...everyone here loved them. I'm not usually big on fruit and meat either, but the apples really seemed to compliment the dark meat of the quail nicely. I would do those again if I make quail...it's hard to describe, but they really worked well together. Yours is just gorgeous!

When I made it, I forgot to use my croutons. Oh what I mess I made out of the dish. Haha. I'll have to try again. Your croutons and cream sauce look good.
