Yield Makes approx. 48

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 8 oz bag slivered almonds (1 1/3 cups)
1TB canola oil
1/4 tsp salt
1 Pillsbury Crusty French Loaf
canola oil cooking spray
Approx 3/4 lb manchego cheese (white cheddar may be substituted)
1 tin guava paste (in Mexican food aisle)

Steps:

  • Almond Butter: Toast almonds: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in single layer on baking sheet. Bake approx. 8 minutes, stirring once, until lightly brown. Cool. Grind almonds in food processor fitted with steel blade 2 minutes, then add oil and salt. Process until smooth (approx 5 minutes). Note: almond butter will not be as creamy as commercial nut butters. (Almond butter can be made in advance. Store refrigerated. Bring to room temperature and stir before using.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Divide French Loaf dough in half crosswise. Gently stretch first piece of dough until it is approx. 13 inches long. Repeat with remaining piece of dough. Lay dough pieces on cookie sheet, seam side down. Bake 15 minutes. Let cool. Preheat broiler. Slice bread into approx. 1/2 inch rounds using serrated knife. Lay slices flat on ungreased cookie sheet. Lightly spray tops of rounds with cooking spray (canola oil, olive oil or butter-flavored spray may be used). Broil until golden brown (approx. 2 minutes), watching carefully so they don't burn. Let cool. Spread top of each round with a thin layer of almond butter. Top with thin slices (approx 1/8 inch) of cheese and guava paste. Makes approx. 48. Serve at room temperature. NOTE: Thin strips of guava paste may be rolled into rosebud shapes.

ROMEO AND JULIET (CHEESE AND JAM)



Romeo and Juliet (Cheese and Jam) image

I saw this in a cookbook and it is so simple! It's savory and sweet and great for when you need that little nibble during the day. In the book where I found this they had a cheese listed that I've never heard of. I winged it and used Cheddar. :) I used a 3/4 oz slice of cheese that is reduced calorie(50 per piece) and strawberry preserves.

3/4 ounce slice cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon jam (any flavor) or 1 teaspoon preserves (any flavor)

Steps:

  • Put your cheese down on a plate.

  • (Sounds goofy,I know but very easy and very good!).

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Blanched Almonds: Blanching almonds removes their skins, making them easier to grind and giving the cookies a smoother texture.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake Cookies Until Golden Brown: The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and just set in the center.
  • Let Cookies Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Romeo and Juliet almond rounds are a classic Italian cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and toppings. Whether you are a beginner baker or a seasoned pro, you are sure to enjoy this delicious treat.
