Mushroom Goat Cheese And Truffle Oil Panini Recipes

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Add the goat cheese, sour cream and salt to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Using a tablespoon, scoop out some of the mixture and roll it into a ball to form a truffle. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat until you have 24 truffles. Transfer to the freezer to firm up, about 10 minutes.
• Put the dill and sesame seeds into separate small bowls. Mix the walnuts and cherries in a third small bowl.
• Roll 8 of the cheese balls in the dill, 8 in the sesame seeds and 8 in the walnut and cherry mixture. Transfer the truffles to a serving platter. Insert a pretzel stick into each truffle. If making ahead of time, cover and refrigerate the balls without the pretzel sticks, then insert the sticks right before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the butter and oil until the butter is melted. Add the mushrooms and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Pour in the Marsala and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are cooked down and the liquid is mostly gone, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Set aside.
• Put the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush with the pesto, then top with the mozzarella, mushroom mixture and goat cheese. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
• Bake until the flatbreads are heated through and the cheese is melted, bubbly and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Put the onions in a small heatproof bowl, then pour over the hot liquid to completely submerge them. Let sit at room temperature to pickle and turn bright pink, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small saute pan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes; the garlic will sizzle but not brown. Set aside in the warm oil to soften and cool, about 5 minutes more.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a good pinch of kosher salt and cook until just tender and starting to release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a colander set over a large bowl to drain. Wipe out the saute pan and reserve for later use.
• Use a pastry brush to brush about 1 tablespoon of the garlic oil on the sliced bread; transfer to a baking sheet. Bake until the bread is toasted on the outside but still soft on the inside, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Add the remaining garlic oil and softened garlic to a medium bowl, then stir in the goat cheese, lemon zest and good grind of pepper.
• Heat the butter and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the reserved saute pan over high heat. Once the oil is very hot and shimmering, add the drained mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until lightly browned and crisp at the edges, about 2 minutes. Give the mushrooms a good toss, then continue to cook until they are well browned and crisp all over, about 4 minutes more. Add the parsley and thyme and toss until well combined.
• Spread the goat cheese mixture on the toasted bread, then top with the mushrooms. Top with some pickled onions and sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt. Cut each tartine in half and serve warm.
