MAIN COURSE: Grilled Portobello with Feta, Mozzarella, Ricotta & Bacon
|
|
|
Grilled portobello mushrooms are often called a “vegetarian steak” for their rich texture, but this version takes them further—filling the caps with a creamy blend of cheeses and finishing with crispy bacon for a perfect balance of smoky, savory, and indulgent flavors.

DESSERT: Croissants

|
|
Croissants, though famously French, actually trace their roots to Vienna, Austria! Their ancestor is the kipferl, a crescent-shaped pastry that dates back to at least the 13th century. Legend says Viennese bakers created it to celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman Turks — the crescent shape imitating the symbol on the Ottoman flag.
