THREE CHEESE HASSELBACK POTATOES



Three Cheese Hasselback Potatoes image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium baking potatoes (8 to 10 ounces each)
1 ounce lemon juice
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons sea or kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup finely grated mixed Parmesan, gruyere and double Gloucester cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Peel all the potatoes and, as you peel them, put them in a large container with 1 gallon water and the lemon juice to keep them from browning. Once they are all peeled, remove them from the water and pat dry. Then slice the potatoes about 1/4-inch apart and about three-quarters of the way through to create a series of uniform slices so that they are still joined together at the bottom. This should create a fan type finish to the potatoes.
  • Next, using a whisk, blend the butter, parsley, salt and pepper. Make sure to mix well. Dunk the potatoes into the butter mixture, making sure that the slits in the potato soak up the mixture as well. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, remove the potatoes, re-heat any remaining butter and drizzle on top. Divide the cheese mixture over the potatoes. Bake the potatoes until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Once melted, remove the potatoes and serve.

THREE-CHEESE CRESCENTS



Three-Cheese Crescents image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 3h40m

Yield 24 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 19

Basic Dinner-Roll Dough, recipe follows
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking spray
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup grated Havarti cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup grated sharp white Cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 -ounce packet active dry yeast
4 1/4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Mix-ins (herbs, spices, cheese, etc.)
Vegetable oil or cooking spray, for the bowl

Steps:

  • Make the Basic Dinner-Roll Dough, using the Parmesan as the mix-in. Let rise as directed.
  • Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Roll or stretch each half into a 12-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush each round with some of the beaten egg and sprinkle with the Havarti and Cheddar, leaving a 1-inch border. Lightly press on the cheese to ensure it sticks.
  • Cut each round into 12 wedges with a pizza cutter or chef's knife. Starting from the wide ends, roll up each wedge. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheets, bending the ends slightly to create a crescent. Loosely cover with plastic wrap; let stand until puffy, about 45 minutes.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Combine the sesame seeds, poppy seeds and salt in a small bowl. Brush the crescents with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with the seed mixture. Bake, switching and rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the rolls are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Warm the milk and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan or in the microwave until very warm (110 degrees F). Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook; mix in the sugar, yeast and 1 cup flour until combined but still lumpy. Let stand until the mixture is very bubbly, about 30 minutes.
  • Add the butter, salt and 2 cups flour; mix on medium speed until smooth and elastic, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the eggs until combined, scraping the bottom and side of the bowl as needed. Add 1 1/4 cups flour and the mix-ins, if using; mix until the dough is smooth and starts to gather into a loose ball, about 4 minutes. The dough should be slightly sticky; if it's too wet, add the remaining 1/4 cup flour.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl; scrape the dough into the bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.

THREE-CHEESE CAKE



Three-Cheese Cake image

This combination of chevre, mascarpone, and cream cheese is baked to perfection. Every bite is as rich as you'd expect, though surprisingly light and airy.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup hazelnuts
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for pan
9 whole graham crackers
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
5 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
6 ounces mild and creamy goat cheese (chevre), room temperature
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
4 teaspoons freshly squeezed orange juice (1 orange)
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons Frangelico (optional)
4 large eggs, separated
5 ounces mascarpone cheese
8 navel oranges, peeled, membrane removed, sectioned
1 tablespoon lavender-flavored honey, optional
1/2 teaspoon dried lavender (optional)
Lavender blossoms, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread hazelnuts on a baking pan. Bake until golden brown and fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer nuts to a clean kitchen towel. Rub nuts vigorously, removing loose skins. Set aside to cool.
  • Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch springform pan. In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter; set aside.
  • Using a food processor, pulse graham crackers into fine crumbs, yielding about 1 cup crumbs. Place in a medium bowl; add 1/4 cup sugar, and set aside. Place 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts in the food processor; pulse until fine but not powdery. Add to graham-cracker-crumb mixture. Using a fork, add melted butter; stir to combine. Put crumb mixture in the bottom of pan, and press evenly around the bottom and halfway up the sides, about 1 1/2 inches.
  • Bake crust until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Place cream cheese and goat cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add 1/2 cup sugar, orange zest, flour, salt, and Frangelico, if using; mix until combined. Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add mascarpone cheese and orange juice; mix just until batter is combined and smooth. Transfer batter to a large mixing bowl, and set aside.
  • Place egg whites in the clean bowl of the electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat on medium speed until frothy. Increase speed to medium high, and gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time. Continue beating whites until stiff but not dry.
  • Using a hand whisk, mix one third of the whipped egg whites into the batter. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in remaining whites. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake cheesecake until the top is golden brown and center has barely set, about 60 minutes; the top should be cracked and will sink upon cooling, forming a "bowl." Transfer cheesecake to a wire rack to cool completely. Chill several hours or overnight, then unmold cheesecake.
  • Combine orange sections, honey, and dried lavender in a medium bowl. Coarsely chop remaining 1/4 cup hazelnuts, and add. Spoon topping into bowl on top of cheesecake. Garnish with lavender blossoms.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Cheese: Opt for flavorful and melty cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Shred Your Own Cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can hinder melting.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh vegetables and herbs to enhance the dip's flavor.
  • Use a Food Processor: If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the vegetables and herbs by hand.
  • Control the Temperature: Cook the dip over medium-low heat to prevent burning.
  • Stir Regularly: Stir the dip frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  • Season to Taste: Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the dip immediately after preparation for the best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

The Three-Cheese Dunk is a versatile and flavorful dip that can be enjoyed with various accompaniments. By following the tips and tricks mentioned above, you can create a delicious and crowd-pleasing dip. Experiment with different cheese combinations, vegetables, and herbs to find your perfect variation. Serve it as an appetizer, snack, or party dip, and enjoy the compliments!
