melted cheese

These aligot potatoes are made with creamy mashed potatoes and melted cheese curds as well as mozzarella cheese.

Aligot Potatoes

(about

Kosher salt

heavy cream,

unsalted butter

fresh cheese curds or substitute shredded Swiss, Comte, or Fontina cheese

mozzarella cheese, shredded or torn into small pieces

white pepper

Boil

Place the potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover by 2 inches (5 cm). Place the pot over high heat, add 2 tablespoons salt so the water is nice and salty, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a light simmer.

Cook

Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander.

Mash

Immediately pass the potatoes through a potato ricer or food mill and back into the pot. Alternatively, you can use the back of a wooden spoon to press the potatoes through the colander or mash them with a handheld potato masher until they’ve very smooth.

Stir

Place the pot over low heat and stir in the warm cream and butter.

Melt

Add half of each type of cheese and stir until melted. Then stir in the remaining cheeses. Continue stirring until the potatoes can be stretched with a spoon like melted mozzarella, 4 to 9 minutes.

You’ll probably want a second helping. To prevent the potatoes from stiffening while they sit, keep them warm in the pan, covered, over very low heat.

Season

Season with salt and the white pepper. Serve warm.

Pork and Melted Cheese Hoagies

pork

garlic powder

onion powder

salt

black pepper

French Rolls

butter, (at room temperature)

olive oil, (divided)

sweet onion, (sliced thinly)

red bell pepper, (seeded and sliced thinly)

green bell pepper, (seeded and sliced thinly)

white American cheese

Parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the chopped pork in a bowl. Combine the seasonings, and then sprinkle the seasonings over the pork and toss to coat. Set aside.

SEASON THE PORK:

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Swirl in tablespoon of oil and add the onion and bell peppers.  Sauté until the peppers are softened and the onions are golden- 15 to 20 minutes.

Butter the rolls and place them butter-side-up on a baking sheet.  Heat in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the rolls begin to crisp on the edges. Watch closely- you don&#039;t want them to burn!

Heat a second skillet over medium-high heat.  Swirl in a tablespoon of oil and add the pork.  Cook the pork in the pan until cooked through on both sides- stirring as needed to move the pork around.  Spoon the pork into a bowl.  Wipe out the pan.  Move the pork back into the pan and turn heat to medium.  Cover the pork with the American cheese and sprinkle the Parmesan on top.  Cover the pan and let the cheese melt.  When all is melted, stir the pork with the cheese.

COOKING:

Divide the pork and cheese mixture between the four toasted rolls.  Top with onion and peppers.  Eat!

ASSEMBLE THE SANDWICHES:

Easy Baked Brie with Crusty Bread

cheese

tbsp olive oil, extra virgin

tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional, for savory notes)

honey

pecans

fruit apple slices, grapes, berries), optional

Preheat your oven

to 375°F (190°C). Place the oven rack in the middle position.

Prepare the Brie

Remove the Brie from its packaging. If you're using a full wheel, you can score the top rind lightly in a crisscross pattern with a sharp knife; this helps the heat penetrate and the top to open slightly, but it's not strictly necessary. For best results, place the Brie in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before baking. This helps the rind firm up slightly and prevent excessive leaking.

Prepare for baking

Place the Brie wheel on a small, oven-safe baking dish or a parchment-lined baking sheet. If adding toppings like rosemary or nuts, you can press them gently onto the top of the Brie now. If using honey, you'll add it after baking.

Bake the Brie

Carefully transfer the dish or baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 12-18 minutes for an 8-ounce wheel, or 18-25 minutes for a 16-ounce wheel. The exact time will depend on the size and initial temperature of your Brie. Look for the Brie to be visibly softened, puffed up slightly, and just beginning to ooze from the sides or crack slightly on top. The center should feel very soft when gently pressed.

Prepare the bread

While the Brie bakes, slice your baguette or rustic bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. You can toast these lightly in the oven alongside the Brie for the last 5-7 minutes, or separately in a toaster, for extra crispness.

Finish and serve

Once baked, carefully remove the Brie from the oven. If desired, immediately drizzle with honey or maple syrup and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Serve the warm, gooey Brie immediately with the crusty bread slices, and optional fresh fruit or crackers for dipping.
