Have you ever had a savory dessert after dinner? Instead of a sugar sweet dessert it’s sometimes nice to have a salty sweet treat after a meal.
If you’re like me, when you hear the word “dessert,” your mind instantly goes to a sugar high place filled with candy, ice cream, cake, and chocolate. What’s so awesome about a savory dessert is a taking a traditional sugar filled desserts and making them savory with a fun twist.
For example instead of a sweet blueberry scone try an ridiculously tasty bacon scone with a sweet maple drizzle. What about making a savory puff pastry tart baked with fresh peaches, prosciutto and brie. This take after dinner cheese course to another level.
