Cheese Capers Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring until blended.
• Spread about 1/4 cup cheese mixture evenly over each muffin half; place on an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese; cut into quarters.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or broil 3 inches from the heat 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except baguette slices in shallow 6-inch microwavable quiche or au gratin dish. Microwave uncovered on High 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
• Serve cheese spread with baguette slices.

Steps:

• Cover capers with fresh water in a bowl and soak for 5 minutes to remove excess salt; drain.
• Chop capers coarsely. Stir together capers, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, and crushed coriander seeds in a small bowl. Season with ground black pepper.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush the halloumi slices with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Cook halloumi slices directly on the grill grate until golden, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until soft in the center and golden on the outside, about 2 more minutes.
• Place halloumi slices on a serving plate. Drizzle with caper sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• 1. Beat the cream cheese and cottage cheese together until they are very smooth. Add the capers, cornichons, paprika, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, and mustard. Mix together well and turn into a 1-quart bowl lined with plastic wrap for easier unmolding later. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with the overhanging plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator to set.
• 2. When it has become cold enough to turn out - a few hours should do it - unwrap the folded-over plastic wrap on top, place a plate over the now uncovered bowl, turn it over, and unmold. Pull the plastic wrap off and drizzle over a rust-red ooze made by mixing the oil with the paprika.
• **3.**Serve this with bread or poppy-seed bagels, gherkins, and, if you like, some chopped red onions.
