15 Valentine's Recipe Experience Flavor Like Never Before!

The Perfect Appetizer: Heart-Shaped Bruschetta

Ingredients:

• 1 French Baguette
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 2 ripe tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon of dried basil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Cut the baguette into slices and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly crisp. Next, cut the garlic cloves in half and rub them on the toasted bread. This will give the bread a hint of garlic flavor.

In a bowl, mix together the chopped tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Spoon the mixture onto the toasted bread and shape it into heart shapes using a cookie cutter. Place the bruschetta back into the oven for another 5 minutes. Once done, serve them on a platter and watch your loved one's face light up with delight.

The Main Course: Beef Wellington

Ingredients:

• 1 (2-pound) beef tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme
• 1 sheet of puff pastry
• 8 slices of prosciutto
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper. In a pan, heat the olive oil and sear the tenderloin on all sides until it is browned. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and spread the Dijon mustard on it. Sprinkle chopped thyme on top.

Place the prosciutto slices in a single layer on the pastry. Place the cooled tenderloin on top and wrap the pastry around it, sealing the edges with egg wash. Place the beef Wellington on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

The Sweet Ending: Chocolate Covered Strawberries
