BACON, POTATO, ROSEMARY AND FONTINA PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put a jelly roll pan or half sheet pan in the oven.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the fingerling potatoes, onion, bacon, and rosemary leaves. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss together to coat with olive oil.
• Take the preheated jelly roll pan out of the oven and drizzle some olive oil over entire surface. Cut the dough into 2 pieces and reserve 1 piece for another use. Stretch the pizza dough out so it is just bigger than the pan, then lay it inside the pan so the dough comes up the sides to form a crust on the rim.
• Pour the potato mixture onto the pizza dough, then sprinkle with shredded fontina. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until crispy and golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with arugula and drizzle the lemon juice over the top. Serve immediately.
• In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar and water and stir gently to dissolve. Let the mixture stand until the yeast comes alive and starts to foam, 5 to 10 minutes.
• If you're using a stand mixer, combine the salt and flour to the bowl and pulse a few times to mix. Add the yeast mixture, at the lowest speed, until the flour incorporates. When the dough starts to come together, increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough gathers into a ball. This should take about 2 minutes. Add the olive oil and pulse a few more times. Stop the machine periodically to scrape the dough off the hook. Get a feel for the dough as you're making it by squeezing a small amount together between your thumb and fingers. If it's crumbly, add more water, if it's sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over itself a few times, kneading until it's smooth and elastic.
• If you're making the dough by hand, add the yeast mixture to a large bowl and stir in the salt and the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Then begin stirring in the flour. When the mixture becomes too stiff to stir with a spoon, knead in the rest of the flour by hand, adding just enough so that the dough is soft but not too sticky. As you work, squeeze a small amount of dough together between your thumb and fingers. If it's crumbly, add more water; if it's sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Form the dough into a round and put it into a lightly oiled bowl, turning it over to coat the dough entirely with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot (i.e., over a gas pilot light) until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

CHERRY & FONTINA STUFFED PORTOBELLOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Wipe mushroom caps clean with a damp paper towel; remove stems and gills and discard. Place caps on a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan., In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat until it begins to brown and smell nutty. Add onion; saute until translucent, stirring occasionally. Stir in pecans, cherries and seasonings; cook and stir 3 minutes. Remove from heat., Combine onion mixture and stuffing cubes, tossing to coat evenly. Add 1-1/2 cups broth to onion-stuffing mixture, stirring until well mixed. Add remaining broth as needed.

• Dice bacon and fry until crisp. Drain.
• Crumble Gorgonzola cheese and set aside.
• Divide ground beef into eight thin patties.
• Top four of the patties with the bacon and Gorgonzola, dividing it evenly.
• Top with the four remaining patties, close and seal the burgers.
• Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper.

CHEESE-STUFFED PORTOBELLO BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Brush both sides of mushrooms with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange mushrooms, gill-sides down, on sheet and roast, flipping once, until tender, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a cutting board, gill-sides down. Butterfly each by cutting horizontally through middle of cap, leaving one side intact. Open flaps and add cheese (if necessary, fold to fit.) Close flaps and gently press to seal with your palm.
• Place flour, egg, and panko in separate shallow bowls. Dip each stuffed mushroom in flour, then egg, turning to coat and shaking off excess. Then dip in panko, pressing to adhere.
• Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large straight-sided skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium until a panko crumb sizzles when tossed in. Working in two batches, cook mushrooms until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer mushrooms to a wire rack set over a baking sheet; season with salt. Spread mayonnaise on buns. Top with mushroom burgers and arugula. Serve immediately.

PESTO-STUFFED PORTOBELLO BURGERS

Steps:

• Carefully remove the stems from the portobellos and scoop out the gills using a spoon. In a large bowl, toss the portobellos with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed garlic and chopped basil. Marinate for 30 minutes.
• Heat remaining oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the portobellos (in batches if necessary), rounded side down, and cook 7 minutes. Flip the mushrooms over and cook another 5 to 7 minutes. The mushrooms should be releasing liquid. Flip over again so the cavity is up, and spread a heaped tablespoon of pesto in each cavity. Cook another 2 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and juicy and the pesto is warm. The mushrooms will release more liquid into the pan, then the liquid will evaporate. Serve on hamburger buns if desired.
