Instructions

  1. 1 Add white wine, cherry brandy, garlic clove, cayenne, nutmeg, and cornstarch to a saucepan. Whisk to combine and place on the stove over medium heat. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly and you can see wisps of steam in the pan, 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Add Gruyère and Emmentaler cheeses, one handful at a time, slowly whisking after each addition until melted. Continue whisking until all cheese is melted and sauce is very smooth. Remove from the heat and transfer into a fondue pot to serve.
  3. 3 Keep sauce warm while serving so it doesn't solidify.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2 Fill a saucepan with 1/2-inch water; bring to a boil. Carefully place cold eggs into the saucepan. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until egg yolks are soft, about 6 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water and cool under cold running water. Peel and dry eggs on paper towels.
  3. 3 Mix together sausage, mustard, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Shape mixture into 6 equal balls.
  4. 4 Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a flat work surface. Place 1 sausage ball onto the center of the plastic wrap, fold the plastic over sausage, and flatten into an 1/8-inch-thick oval. Pull the plastic back and place 1 egg onto the center of flattened sausage. Pick up plastic wrap, moisten fingertips, and press sausage around egg to cover completely, sealing well. Repeat with remaining sausage balls and eggs.
  5. 5 Place flour into a shallow bowl. Beat 2 eggs in a second shallow bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a third bowl.
  6. 6 Dredge sausage-wrapped eggs in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then press in bread crumbs to coat. Gently toss between your hands to remove excess bread crumbs, then place breaded eggs on a plate.
  7. 7 Cook in batches in the preheated oil until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer Scotch eggs to a wire rack to cool, about 5 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place bacon in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until cooked but not crisp and fat has rendered out, about 8 minutes. Drain in a strainer; reserve fat.
  2. 2 Place skillet back over medium heat. Add sliced onions. Cook briefly just until they lose their raw edge and soften up slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Add a teaspoon or 2 of bacon fat if the pan seems too dry. Remove the skillet from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  3. 3 Mix fromage blanc, crème fraîche, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a mixing bowl.
  4. 4 Place 1 ball of pizza dough on a well-floured surface. Flatten and roll out to a 10- or 12-inch thin circle. Transfer to a cold cast iron pan. Heat over medium-high heat to precook the bottom of crust. As dough heats and bubbles appear, deflate them with the tines of a fork, so crust ends up thin and crisp (not chewy). When bottom is nicely browned and just about to start getting charred, 5 to 7 minutes, remove from heat. Repeat with remaining dough.
  5. 5 Spread a generous amount of cheese mixture over crust. Top evenly with some onions and bacon. Broil 5 or 6 minutes until edges are browned and starting to lift. Repeat for remaining tartes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients, and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
  2. 2 Combine butter, beer, salt, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Let butter melt and bring to a simmer.
  3. 3 Add flour all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until it all comes together, about 30 seconds. Continue to cook and stir until the dough dries out a bit and starts sticking to the bottom of the pan, another minute or so.
  4. 4 Turn off the heat and continue stirring for another 1 to 2 minutes, scraping as much off the bottom of the pan as you can.
  5. 5 Transfer dough into a bowl. Add one egg and whisk it into a bit of the hot dough. Keep whisking in more dough until incorporated. Repeat with remaining egg, cleaning out the whisk as needed, until well combined and dough is sticky.
  6. 6 Add ¾ cup Cheddar cheese and cayenne and stir until incorporated.
  7. 7 Scoop 12 rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press a little Cheddar on the tops and sides of each puff.
  8. 8 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until nicely puffed and beautifully browned, about 25 minutes. Turn off the oven and crack the door; let cheese puffs cool, undisturbed, for 30 minutes.
  9. 9 Meanwhile, make the spread: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add leek and ½ teaspoon salt; cook and stir until just barely tender, 7 to 10 minutes, adding a splash of water every few minutes to prevent browning.
  10. 10 Stir in green onions and sauté briefly for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer leek-onion mixture to a bowl and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
  11. 11 Add lemon juice and mascarpone cheese and mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until cheese puffs have finished cooling.
  12. 12 Serve cheese puffs with spread.
