3 steps to heart stopping

James came to Shanghai this weekend, it's been about 6 months since we met, but does not really feel so long. We decided to make a heart stopping 3 course late X-Mas dinner since few of us spent it in Europe this year. First we walked to the Metro shopping mall, it's just next to Xizhang road / Huaihai road. Picture is the big crossing on Yan an road / Xi zhang road.

We were making sausages wrapped in cheese, wrapped in meat, wrapped in bacon, wrapped in dough. Eaten with eggnog followed by 3 huge cheese cakes. If this meal isn't a heart stopper what is?? And if you don't think this is hot! you need to recheck your diet!

Pre fry the sausages

 The ingredients: sausage, cheese, bacon, hamburger steaks and dough.

 Make the hamburger stake flat so you can use it for rolling

 After that add the cheese

 Now your sausage is done in the pan, put it on the "to be wrap"

 Add sauce of choice (we used BBQ) 

Start wrapping the whole thing (it's quite delicate so use a cheese cutter or something)

For maximum stability, use toothpicks to keep it as a roll 

 Lift up the roll and place the bacon under it

 Wrap the bacon around the roll

 Check that you did not forget anything....

 Use bigger sticks for the roll so you can easier place it in the oven

 Cover the roll with bread crusts before putting it in the oven

 Keep in oven about 30 minutes on 170 degrees for cooking the bacon well and crispy

Last step, put dough around the "heart stopper"

 

 Cook them for another 20 minutes on 150 degrees

 Take out when brown

 

Bon appetite !

 Oh man this was just so good!! But it's seriously so much to eat that you need to be super hungry for this stuff! And it takes quite a long time to make all these things. We spent half a day in the kitchen. Thanks Helena, James and Kari for a great Xmas dinner :)

Dessert!

And 3 sets of cheese cake with blueberries

As if food wasn't enough we also made eggnog which turned out sooooooo good! Ganbei

Eggnogg done!!!
