Fig ‘n’ Cheese German Zwieback casserole with illustrated recipe

Hello guys! First of all, I wanted to apologize to my readers, because it has been almost 2 weeks since I recently posted a  food related entry. But today I want to share with you something very special. Today’s post doesn’t only include a yummy recipe, but on top of that I have also illustrated it all by myself ^^.

Now, you may wonder what the reason for this special post is. In fact, I have discovered an amazing site on the web which is called TheyDraw&Cook and at the moment there is a Fig Recipe Contest going on which I decided to join. Did I mention that apart from cooking, drawing is my other passion? ^^However, further information can be found here. Anyway, I absolutely recommend you to visit that site and have a look at the numerous lovely illustrated, mouth-watering recipes. It is just gorgeous! xD

German "Zwieback" slices

But before I give you the recipe, I have still one thing to say about my Fig ‘n’ Cheese Zwieback casserole. I am not very sure if “Zwieback” are available all over the world, so if that is not the case just replace them through rusks. Actually, Zwieback are also just a sort of rusks and when I was a kid, my mom often gave me them to eat when I had a gippy tummy. Nevertheless, I still like Zwieback very much, because of their crispy consistency and their lightly sweet taste.

Of course, this time I won’t note down the instructions here, since you can get them together with the illustration, so just click on the image in order to get a larger version. Have fun! 😉

And last but not least, I will show you what the casserole looks like in reality. By the way, I have to admit that this dish really hit my taste, because I am a huge cheese lover and in combination with the fruity sweetness of the dried figs, it turned out to be a bomb. So just try it out 😀
