Im trying to make some macaroons.

 

Trying to be creative, this idea comes by.

 

Im trying to make a Cheese feeling macarons, i have no idea which kind of cheese should i choose.

I have no experience on cheese due to here low demand on Cheese.

 

Pirere Hermes salted caramel macarons inspire me to make savory macarons.

 

Thx Chef

Made green olive macarons the other day - not exactly savory however.  The standard Pierre Herme macaron with some green colour as well as a little bit of cocoa to get an olive green.  Buttercream made with whole eggs and yolks into which I mixed a whole lot of chunks of green pimento stuffed olives.  They were fabulous - nice salty hit to foil the sweetness.

We did bacon maccaroons with some old bacon we had. Just cooked it to render all of the fat and ground it fine, we added it along with the almond flour and filled it with a bacon onion marmalade. Cutomers thought it weird but I liked it.

  • 1

 

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar
  • 125 grams sugar
  • 75 grams water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 200 grams unsalted butter, room temp
  • 250 ml container of green olives, diced

 

Start the egg and yolk beating in the mixer with salt and the cream of tartar.  Boil together sugar and water and bring to 116C.  

When it reaches 116, drizzle in to the beaten eggs.  Cool to room temperature.  Add butter, if separates heat slightly to bring 

together.  Add chopped olives.  

 

Makes a pretty small batch - was just an experiment - but a successful one!
