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.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. 2 Place prepared apples in a medium saucepan. Drizzle lemon juice over top, then add water and stir. Sprinkle brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon over the apples; stir again. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples reach your preferred softness, about 40 minutes.
  3. 3 Sprinkle apples with white sugar, then stir again. Cook for 5 more minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Let mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Set a small bowl of water by work area. Lay an egg roll wrapper in front of you so the point is top and bottom. Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture along the middle of the wrapper.
  5. 5 Fold the bottom point of the wrapper up and over the filling, tucking the end around it. Gently roll up one time. Wet the sides of the roll and fold over edges (so it makes a little purse).
  6. 6 Roll up the wrapper the rest of the way and brush with water to seal. Lightly brush completed roll with water. Mix 1/4 cup white sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Gently roll egg roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
  7. 7 Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and carefully lay completed egg rolls on it. Air-fry for 7 minutes, then turn over. Continue to air-fry until light golden brown, about 7 minutes more.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place garlic and salt in a mortar; smash and mash with the pestle until it becomes a paste, 5 to 8 minutes. Add walnuts; mash walnuts into a paste until you reach your desired texture (coarse or smoother), another 5 to 8 minutes. Add parsley and mash to break up and blend with the walnut/garlic mixture, about 4 minutes. Add lemon juice and olive oil; stir, mash, and emulsify liquids into the mixture until it becomes very thick and well blended, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. If mixture seems too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of water, or as needed.
  2. 2 Spread on bread, use on pizza or pasta, or on roasted chicken. The taste is just like garlic butter, so use it as such.
