Categories     appetizer

Time P1DT17h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the board
Kosher salt
13 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, divided
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
3/4 cup chopped shallots (3 to 4 shallots)
10 1/2 ounces garlic-and-herb soft goat cheese (recommended: Montrachet}
1 cup heavy cream
3 extra-large eggs
1/4 cup chopped basil leaves
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the crust, put the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Cut 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) of the butter into large dice, add to the bowl, and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, add the ice water all at once and process until the dough becomes crumbly. Don't overprocess. Dump the dough out on a floured board, gather it loosely into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Roll the dough on a well-floured board and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable sides, rolling the pin over the top to cut off the excess dough. Butter 1 side of a square of aluminum foil and fit it, butter side down, into the tart pan. Fill the foil with rice or beans. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the beans and foil from the tart shell, prick the bottom all over with a fork, and bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small pan and saute the shallots over low heat for 5 minutes, or until tender. Place the goat cheese in the bowl of the food processor and process until crumbly. Add the cream, eggs, basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper and process until blended.
  • Scatter the cooked shallots over the bottom of the tart shell. Pour the goat cheese mixture over the shallots to fill the shell (if the shell has shrunk, there may be leftover filling). Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the tart is firm when shaken and the top is lightly browned. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and serve hot or at room temperature.

GOAT CHEESE AND FIG QUICK BREAD



Goat Cheese and Fig Quick Bread image

Here's a recipe from France, where savory loaf cakes are often served with drinks before dinner. This one started with bits of goat cheese and snips of dried figs, and then moved closer and closer to the Mediterranean. It's got fruity olive oil, a handful of parsley (for brightness), a little rosemary and thyme (to set the mood and further establish the locale), some honey (always good with goat cheese) and scrapings of clementine zest (for surprise). You can use a neutral oil, if you'd like, olive or dried tomatoes instead of figs, basil instead of parsley, lemon instead of orange, or experiment with other cheeses. The loaf's pleasantly crumbly, and best enjoyed cut into thick slices.

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray or butter
4 ounces/115 grams very cold soft goat cheese
4 moist, plump dried figs (such as Kalamata), cut into 1/4-inch bits
1/3 cup/20 grams finely chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1 3/4 cups/225 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup/80 milliliters whole milk, lukewarm
1/3 cup/80 milliliters olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 clementine or 1/2 tangerine

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8- to 9-inch loaf pan with baking spray (or butter the pan).
  • Cut the goat cheese into 1/2-inch pieces. It's a sticky, messy job, so don't aim for perfection. Refrigerate the cheese until needed.
  • In a small bowl, toss together the figs, parsley, rosemary and thyme; keep at hand.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Working in a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, then whisk in the milk, oil and honey.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture, and, using a sturdy spatula, stir until the dough is almost blended. You'll still see streaks of flour, and that's fine. Scatter the fig mixture over the dough, and then cover with the chilled bits of goat cheese. Grate the zest of the clementine or tangerine over the cheese. Using as few strokes as possible, stir everything together. Once again, it might not be perfect, and, once again, that's fine. Scrape the dough into the pan, and use the spatula to poke the dough into the corners and to even the bumpy top.
  • Bake for 34 to 38 minutes or until the top is golden, the cake has started to pull away from the sides of the pan, and, most important, a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Unmold the cake onto a rack, turn it right side up and let it cool. You can serve the cake when it's slightly warm (it's not so easy to cut then, but it's delicious) or when it is at room temperature. Cut into thick slices. Wrapped well, the cake will keep for a day or two at room temperature.

MUSHROOM ON ITALIAN BREAD - APPETIZER



Mushroom on Italian Bread - Appetizer image

This is a great little appetizer to make - definitely goes down a treat. Given that it depends on how many you are making I am putting down very vague measurements (in truth I dont measure, but make as I go as its easier), so please dont take any notice of the measurements. Basically what you are after is a creamy mushroom topping for the bread, not too runny and not too thick.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread like French bread or baguette will hold up well to the toppings and won't get soggy.
  • Slice the bread thinly: This will help the bread to crisp up in the oven and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The combination of goat cheese, tart apples, and honey is a classic, but you can also try other toppings like brie, cheddar, or blue cheese. You can also add sliced ham, bacon, or roasted vegetables.
  • Bake the crostini until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve the crostini warm: They're best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Goat cheese and tart apple on French bread is an easy and delicious appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover bread and cheese, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
