Cheese And Ham Charlotte Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the artichoke hearts in a single layer and cook, turning, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Scatter the leek, ham and broccoli on top and cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Unroll the pie dough on the prepared pan and gently flatten any curled edges. Spread the mustard on the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with half the gruyere, then the vegetable mixture, then the remaining gruyere. Fold in the edges of the dough, pleating as needed. Lightly brush the crust with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese melts, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the radishes and combine in a large bowl with the mixed greens, vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss. Serve the galette with the salad.

Steps:

• Cut cheese into small thin slices.
• thinly slice the bread.
• butter a souffle dish(or similar ovenproof dish).
• fill with alternate layers of bread and cheese.
• Bring milk to boil, beat eggs and take milk off the heat.
• Pour beaten egg slowly into milk, stirring constantly.
• season with salt,pepper and nutmeg and pour over bread and cheese
• leave to soak for 10 mins, occasionally loosening edges with a spatula.
• dot surface with knobs of butter and cook in a hot oven 450F for 40 mins.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the olive oil. Spread the vegetables in the bottom, then top with a layer of the cheeses, then the ham, and then the scallions.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Pour the mixture over the layers and bake until lightly golden and the egg is set, about 50 minutes Allow the bake to sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the gammon, skin-side up, in a deep roasting tin, then pour over 1 litre water. Scatter over the peppercorns, onion, carrots and bay leaves, then cover tightly with foil and roast for 2 hrs.
• While the ham is in the oven, cook the cauliflower in a large pan of boiling salted water for 3-4 mins until just cooked, then drain well. Leave to steam-dry in the colander.
• Remove the ham from the oven, take off the foil and set aside on a large dish or board until cool enough to handle. Strain the liquid into a jug and set aside. Using a sharp knife, cut away the string and skin to leave a thin, even layer of fat. Use the tip of the knife to score the ham fat into a diamond pattern, if you like.
• To make the cheese sauce for the cauliflower, melt the butter in a shallow saucepan and stir in the flour to make a sandy paste. Slowly pour in 500ml of the reserved ham stock to make a silky sauce, then add the cream. Season with a grating of nutmeg and a grinding pepper, then taste to see if it needs more salt. Bring to a simmer and stir gently for 5 mins, then take off the heat and stir through all the cauliflower and most of the cheese. Will keep chilled for up to 24 hours.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Spoon the cauliflower cheese into a large roasting tin and bake for 20 mins until the sauce is bubbling and the cauliflower is tender.
• Heat the grill to medium, and nestle the ham, fat-side up, in the middle of the cauliflower cheese. To glaze, brush the ham fat with the mustard, then scatter over the sugar (don't worry if some goes on the cauliflower). Scatter over the remaining cheese (avoid getting any on the ham) and grill for 10-15 mins until the ham is glossy and browned and the cauliflower cheese is bubbling and golden. Leave to rest for 5 mins before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Add flour; cook, whisking constantly, until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes (do not let color).
• Add milk and nutmeg to saucepan. Whisking constantly, bring to a simmer; continue cooking until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a shallow dish; cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface of the sauce. Refrigerate at least 10 minutes.
• Place 4 slices of bread on a baking sheet. Spread each slice with sauce, dividing evenly; layer with ham, and sprinkle each with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with remaining bread; sprinkle with remaining cup cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and golden, about 15 minutes. Serve hot, with mustard on the side, if desired.
