Hoisin Ham N Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Score the ham by using a sharp knife and inserting it about 1/3rd inch into the fat. Make some diamond.
• shapes. This will make the skin crispy. Place the ham in a roasting pan.
• Place the Hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce and mustard in a small, heavy pan. Bring to a soft boil, stirring constantly. Simmer for a few minutes.
• Generously glaze the ham with the sauce, making sure you fill in the diamond crevices. Place the ham in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Re-glaze the ham and bake for another 30 minutes.
• Re-glaze and cover the ham loosely with some foil. Bake for another hour and remove from oven.
• Allow the ham to sit for a few minutes. Carve and serve.

Steps:

• Thaw the bread dough overnight, then bring to room temperature before rolling (but don't let it rise).
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll the bread dough into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. When rolling, if the dough springs back, cover with a dry towel and let it rest for 5 minutes.
• Shingle the ham slices onto the dough, leaving a 1/4 inch of exposed dough on all sides. Sprinkle with the cheese and roll the dough into a large log, pinching together the seam and tucking the ends under to seal completely.
• Place the log, seam-side down, in the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown and cooked through and the internal temperature is 200 degrees, for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the herbs on both sides of each goat cheese round, pressing down lightly so they adhere to the cheese.
• Wrap 2 slices of bacon, crisscross fashion, around each round of goat cheese. (The goat cheese can be prepared to this stage up to 8 hours in advance. Cover and keep the cheese in a cool spot.)
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat. Add the wrapped cheese and cook until the meat is browned, about 2 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 4 (7-ounce) souffle dishes with nonstick spray.
• Heat the canola oil over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan. Add the flour whisking constantly for about 3 minutes, do not brown. Whisk in the warm milk until thickened, about 3 more minutes. Turn off heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in the egg yolks, then the cheese, ham (reserve 1/3 cup of the ham for the Round 2 recipe Savory Bread Pudding) and mustard. Let sit and cool slightly while beating the egg whites.
• In another bowl with an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks. Stir 1/4 of the whites into the ham and cheese base mixture to lighten, then fold in the rest of the whites. Fill each ramekin 3/4 of the way (reserve remaining souffle batter for the Round 2 recipe Savory Bread Pudding). Bake until puffed up and lightly browned on top. 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.

Steps:

• For the dough: Warm the milk and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over low heat until it is about 100 degrees F (but no more than 110 degrees). Remove the saucepan from the heat, and sprinkle the yeast over the liquid. Sprinkle a pinch of the sugar over the top, and set aside without stirring until foamy, about 5 minutes. Then whisk in the butter and egg yolk.
• Whisk together the flour, remaining sugar and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and stir in the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until you've made a thick, slightly sticky dough. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface, and knead until soft and elastic, about 6 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball.
• Brush the inside of a large bowl with butter. Put the dough ball in the buttered bowl, turning to coat lightly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, trace a circle the size of the dough ball on the plastic and note the time. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Turn the dough out of the bowl, and knead briefly to release excess air; re-form the dough into a ball, and return it to the bowl. Lightly butter a large piece of plastic wrap, and lay it on the dough. Cover the entire bowl tightly with the rest of the plastic, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight to let the dough proof.
• For the filling: Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and just beginning to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the leeks with the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and toasted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the wine and 1/4 cup water, and let the mixture thicken, whisking constantly, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the Gruyere, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer the filling to a medium bowl, and let cool completely. (The filling will firm up a bit, but if it's too warm, it will be difficult to form the rolls.)
• For the rolls: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with the 2 tablespoons softened butter. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface, and press it flat. Roll it into a 10-by-18-inch rectangle, with 1 long edge facing you. Spread the cooled filling evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border on the side opposite you. Sprinkle the ham over the filling. Starting from the side facing you, roll the dough up into a tight roll. Lightly brush the 1-inch border with water, and continue rolling to seal the roll. Fold the ends in just a bit, and if any spots look thicker than others, even out the roll with your hands.
• Cut the roll every 1 1/2 inches with a serrated knife, to make 12 pinwheel slices. Place the slices flat in the prepared pan (put the end pieces cut-side up), spacing them 1 inch apart. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap. Set in a warm place to rise until the slices double in size with no gaps in between, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake the buns until they're golden brown and the tops spring back when pressed lightly, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix ham, cheese, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, eggs, and Parmesan in a medium bowl until well mixed.
• On a dry cutting board, place 1 wonton wrapper. Use 3/4 to 1 teaspoon of filling and brush the edges of the wrapper with egg/water mixture. Place a second wonton wrapper on top and press edges to seal, pushing out any air bubbles. Use ravioli cutter to trim edges or leave in a square.
• Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Add salt, to taste, after it begins to boil. Gently place ravioli into the water and return to a gentle boil until ravioli rise to the top, about 4 to 6 minutes. Use spider or slotted spoon to remove ravioli from the water and serve with your favorite gravy, or serve with butter and grated Parmesan. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into a food processor or jug and blitz with a stick blender until smooth. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three weeks.
