Frugal Gourmets Piping Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Place the fennel dressing in a food blender. Add the achovies, lemon juice, eggs and bleu cheese. Blend for just a moment, and pour over your salad. Add salt and pepper. Add croutons, and serve.

Steps:

• Whip all ingredients together, and use to fill various snacks. Normally, this is done with a piping bag and tip, but you can fill many types of cracker and vegetable with a small knife or spoon.

Steps:

• In the bowl of your electric mixer- KitchenAid is perfect for this- dissolve the yeast in the water.
• Add the oils, cornmeal, and 3 cups of the flour.
• Beat for 10 minutes with the mixer.
• Add the dough hook and mix in the additional 2½ cups flour.
• Knead for several minutes with the machine.
• It is hard to do this by hand since the dough is very rich and moist.
• Pour out the dough on a plastic countertop and cover with a very large metal bowl.
• Allow to rise double in bulk.
• Punch down and allow to rise again.
• Punch down a second time and you are ready to make your pizza.
• Oil round cake pans or deep dish pizza pan.
• Put a bit of dough in each and push it out to the edges, using your fingers.
• Put in enough dough so that you can run the crust right up the side of the pan.
• Try to make it approximately 1/8" thick throughout the pan.
• The filling for 9 or 10 inch pan:.
• Place the cheese in tilelike layers on the bottom of the pie.
• Next put in the tomatoes and the basil, oregano, garlic and salt- reserve the Parmesan cheese for the top.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the pie and bake.
• Additional variations: BEFORE you put on the Parmesan cheese and olive oil drizzle you might like to add any or all of the following:.
• Italian Sausage- hot or mild.
• Yellow Onions- peeled and sliced or diced.
• Pepperoni- sliced thin.
• Mushrooms- sliced.
• Green Sweet Bell Peppers- cored and sliced thin.
• Sliced Black Olives.
• Very Thinly Sliced Ham or Canadian Bacon.
• Put any or all of these on your pie and then top with the Parmesan and the olive oil.
• Bake the pie in 475º oven until the top is golden and gooey and the crust a light golden brown.
• This should take about 35-40 minutes.

Steps:

• Saute the carrots, celery, and onions in the oil until lightly browned. Bring the soup stock to a boil, add the vegetables, and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Dredge the cheese in the flour, and mix into the soup, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Keep stirring until you serve.
• Add the salt, pepper, mustard, Tabasco, and Worcestershire. Finally, add the beer, and stir until all is hot. Garnish with parsley, and serve.
• You may add sliced cooked sausage to this soup; add just before serving.

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan. Add the olive oil and the steaks to you perfection. (I like mine rare, very rare.) Remove to a warm plate and add the wine and the garlic and onion. Sauté just a minute and deglaze the pan by scrapping the bottom with a wooden spoon. Allow the wine to reduce be half and then add the glace de viande and the rosemary. Simmer for a moment and add the butter mixed with the cheese. Mix with a wire whip until smooth.
• Place a bit of the sauce on each plate and then a piece of the stake on top of the sauce. Add the salt and pepper at the very last, as salt will dry out the meat during the cooking process. Garnish with parsley.
