Ricotta Apricot And Posciutto Tartine Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler. Put the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cut the Brie into 1/4-inch-thick slices and top each piece of bread with a slice. Broil until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Top each cheese toast with some prosciutto and a dollop of apricot jam and a sprinkle of chives.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches below the heat.
• Lay the slices of bread in one layer on a sheet pan. Slice both Camemberts 1/3 inch thick across, making about 12 slices from each. Place the cheeses on the bread in a single layer, cutting them to fit and covering most but not all of the surface of the bread. Cover the bread and cheese completely with a layer of prosciutto, sprinkle with the thyme, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• When the broiler is hot, place the sheet pan on the prepared rack and broil the tartines for 2 to 3 minutes (leaving the oven door slightly ajar), turning the pan once to brown evenly, until the prosciutto is browned and crispy. Watch the tartines carefully so they don't burn! Cut each tartine crosswise into 1 1/2-inch slices, sprinkle with chives, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Make the pastry. In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sugar and salt. Process until the mixture looks like coarse bread crumbs (about five seconds). Add the cold water and process briefly, turning the machine on and off, until the mixture looks like small peas. Do not allow to become a ball in the machine.
• Turn mixture out onto lightly floured board and knead lightly until it holds together. With heel of palm of your hand, flatten it into a thick pancake about six inches across. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. It will keep unfrozen up to three days before being used.
• Cut apricots in half and remove pits. Melt butter and sugar in nine-inch cast-iron skillet. Arrange apricot halves in circles on top and cook over moderate heat, without burning, until sugar begins to caramelize. Be careful not to burn. Cool completely.
• Roll out pastry into 10-inch circle. Place it on top of apricots, cutting off excess dough. Put edges down over fruit. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Prick the pastry all over with the point of a knife. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastry is cooked.
• Cool and turn out onto a plate. Do not be dismayed if some of the apricots stick to pan; simply scrape them off and put them on top of pastry.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Arrange the prosciutto slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 6 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Add the baguette slices to another baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil on both sides. Toast in the oven for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Meanwhile, add the ricotta, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lemon zest, and a pinch of salt to a food processor. Blend until whipped and creamy, about 2 minutes.
• Use a vegetable peeler to thinly slice the zucchini into ribbons. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with pepper, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil.
• When ready to assemble, rub each toasted baguette slice on both sides with the cut side of a garlic clove.
• Spread about 2 tablespoons of the whipped ricotta onto each piece of toast. Wrap the zucchini ribbons around your fingers to curl, then place on the ricotta-topped toast. Top each piece with a crumbled half-slice of crispy prosciutto. Garnish with the parsley, salt, and pepper.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Set a grill pan over medium heat and brush lightly with oil. Brush apricots lightly with more oil and season with salt. Once grill pan is hot, lay in apricots, cut-side down, and cook until charred on both sides and just tender, 3-5 minutes total. Remove apricots from pan and set aside. Lay bread into grill pan and cook both sides until golden and charred in spots, 3-4 minutes total. 2. Meanwhile, swirl 2 Tbs oil into a ediu saute pan set over medium-high heat. Once hot, add prosciutto and cook until darkened in spots, less than 1 minute per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. 3. While toasts are warm, spread generously with ricotta. Top with apricots and prosciutto. Garnish with oil, salt, pepper ad mint.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cook the lasagna sheets until al dente, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and lay on a lightly oiled surface.
• Divide the ricotta among the pasta sheets. Sprinkle each with a touch of salt and pepper. Layer the preserves, prosciutto and basil over the ricotta. Sprinkle a tablespoon of mozzarella over each. Roll the pasta, starting with the shorter end. Slice each roll into thirds and place in a shallow baking dish, low-sided oval casserole or small skillet.
• Whisk together the cream, pecorino and garlic. Drizzle the mixture over the pasta and top with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Bake until bubbling and golden, 14 to 16 minutes.
• Drizzle over the balsamic glaze and serve.
