Sauteed Mushroom And Fontina Cheese Quesadilla With White Truffle Oil Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Prick the potato skins all over. Bake the potatoes in aluminum foil wrappers until tender, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small saute pan over medium heat until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving the fat behind. Add the panko and garlic and toast until browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Combine with the bacon, draining any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the potatoes from the foil while warm, and cut down the centers lengthwise without cutting all the way through; scoop the centers into a bowl.
• Mash the potatoes with the cream, butter and truffle. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the broiler. Place the potato mixture back into the skins and top with the fontina cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 4 minutes.
• Garnish with the breadcrumb mixture, chives and more shaved truffle and serve.

Steps:

• On a work surface, layer salami on half the tortilla. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place mushrooms and cheese on top of salami; fold tortilla over filling. Place quesadilla in skillet and cook over medium until tortilla is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer quesadilla to a cutting board and cut into 3 wedges.
• In a small bowl, toss arugula with lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve alongside quesadilla.

Steps:

• Preheat grill or grill pan. Brush the mushrooms with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the mushrooms until golden brown and cooked through, remove from grill and coarsely chop. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place 8 tortillas on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread some of the roasted garlic puree on each. Divide the cheese among the tortillas, then the mushrooms and thyme and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stack to make 4 (2 layer) tortillas and cover with remaining tortilla, brush the tops with olive oil. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake or until the tortillas are lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drizzle with white truffle oil.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and 2 tablespoons thyme and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until they are browned and soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let them cool for about 15 minutes. Put the mushrooms into a food processor and pulse a few times until they are finely chopped. (Alternately, you can chop them on a board with a knife.) Scrape them into a bowl. Crumble in the goat cheese and add the remaining thyme. Pour in the truffle oil, if using, and mix well to combine.
• Cut the focaccia into 4 pieces, slice them horizontally, and drizzle with some olive oil. On the bottoms place 1/4 of the mushroom mixture and top with some arugula. Put the tops on and gently press each sandwich to flatten it slightly. Drizzle some more olive oil over the tops.
• Place each sandwich on a preheated panini press and grill until the bread is toasted and the cheese begins to melt, about 5 minutes. Alternately, preheat a dry cast iron or non stick pan. Place the sandwich in the pan and weight it down with another pan or a clean brick wrapped in foil. Grill 5 minutes, turn the sandwich over, re-weight it, and grill for another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms, garlic, cooking wine, teriyaki sauce, garlic salt, and black pepper in the hot oil and butter until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 8 more minutes.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then cook mushrooms with salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until liquid mushrooms give off is evaporated, about 8 minutes. Add wine and boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Cool mushrooms to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Toss mushrooms with cheese and parsley in a bowl.
• Divide cheese mixture among 8 slices of bread (a scant 1/2 cup per slice), spreading evenly, then top with remaining 8 slices.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in cleaned skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook 2 sandwiches, without turning over, until undersides are browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in skillet until foam subsides, then return sandwiches, browned sides up, to skillet and cook until undersides are browned, about 3 minutes more, transferring back to cutting board as cooked. Make 3 more batches in same manner.
• Trim off crusts and cut each sandwich into 4 triangles. Top each triangle with a drop of truffle oil (if using).
