I have never done that, however I have seen deviled eggs made with ham and cheese
the cheese is put on top then slipped under the broiler just to let the cheese melt. Every once in awhile she does something unusual and I just figure it is a a mid-western thing.
There is something that bothers me about her kitchen and that is her very well used pots and pans. She uses a red one that is so blackened on the outside, it is gross. Also, a copper pot that appears to have a different finish on the inside which has worn through and the copper is showing. I wish Le Creuset and All-Clad would jump in and send her some new stuff. Maybe their spy bots will catch this post, and Amy will luck out!
I watched a show yesterday in which she cooked a fresh trout her husband caught that morning. She cleaned it but left the head and tail intact. Trout was served on the plate with the cooked head, and I could see the cooked eyeball. I would have cut off the head and used it for another purpose, although I don't know what.
