Well I guess it would be nice
If I could make lasagna
I know not everybody
Can make lasagna like me.
Read more: Dishes Tries Sir George Michael’s LasagnaIf I Told You That I make the best lasagna in the world, you wouldn’t believe me. But I Know You’re Not A Fool. If There’s No Comfort In The Truth, then the truth is, it’s probably time to give it One More Try and see if this recipe turns out to be Amazing. Put Your Tiny Hand In Mine and come on this journey with me.
So I saw this recipe on Reddit for George Michael’s Lasagna. I’m pretty sure it was ripped from Tiktok, but as I’m an adult I don’t use that particular app. I don’t have Faith that my data is safe, or that I won’t waste hours a day on it (zero self control.) But this recipe is Something To Save – a piece of Tiger Beat culinary history. That’s All I Wanted- Something Special. Hard boiled eggs in lasagna? Heaven Help Me, I’m doing it.
The recipe is frustratingly vague about quantities, size of pan, how hot the oven should be (moderately heated” indeed!), or how many layers to do. Judging from the ingredients and that it serves 4-6 people, I’m using an 8×8 pan, and fortunately I only got two layers high before Wham! I got to the brim. If you want to Make It Big, you could double the quantities. I’m Feeling Good about 375° for around 45 minutes. I have to note also that there’s not even a Careless Whisper of seasoning in this entire recipe. This might turn out to be Oh Such A Waste of Time. But hey – Maybe It’s Better This Way.
(All kidding aside, can we just all agree right now that Father Figure is a gross, creepy, exceedingly gross awful disgusting gross song? Almost as gross as squirting mayonnaise onto hard boiled egg slices. “I have had enough of crime.” I mean really. I Knew You Were Waiting for me to work that one in.)
As I dot the mayonnaise topping with butter (that’s even hard to type), I text MyKitchenLittle, saying this project could Drag Me To Hell, but she thought heaven. I think The Edge of Heaven at best.
And here it is. It doesn’t look (or smell) all that Fantastic. If You Were There you’d agree. I’m baffled at the mayo holding its shape – I thought it would kind of melt, but it even caramelized a little. I worry that I spent a Hard Day on this for nothing. Maybe if I try A Different Corner? No. Here goes. No more Praying For Time. (Deep cleansing breath as I move Hand To Mouth.)
Nope. No. No thank you. This is all for you, readers. Why I Work So Hard For You. What did I expect? What did YOU expect? I’ll Tell You That I’m Happy If You Want Me To, but it would be a big fat lie. The fact that Sir George Michael describes this as “adventurous” and suggests that it pairs well with French fries really tells you a lot about British cuisine, doesn’t it?
This lasagna did not Put The Boom Boom into my heart, soul, or mouth. This lasagna did not Hit That High. It tasted bland and greasy. And I didn’t even use the whole HALF JAR of mayonnaise suggested. It certainly didn’t Make The Sun Shine Brighter Than Doris Day.
So I’ve gotta think twice
Before I give this dish away
I think there might be hell to pay
You want to pay it too?
