Barbs Cheddar Cheese Coins Recipes

Steps:

• Set up grill for direct cooking over high heat. Oil grill grate when ready to start cooking.
• Place a large skillet on a grill or side burner and add butter. When butter has melted, add onions. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add beer and cover; cook an additional 10 minutes.
• Remove cover from skillet and let simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the heat on the grill down to medium. Place brats on oiled grill grates and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side
• Serve brats hot on toasted rolls smothered with onions and topped with mustard.
• INDOOR: In a large skillet over medium heat melt butter add brats and brown 10 minutes, turning them occasionally as they brown. Remove the brats and set aside. Add the onions and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently until softened. Pour in the beer and scrape up any brown bits in the bottom of the pan. Return the brats to the pan and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes or until beer has all but evaporated.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, both cheeses, black pepper, salt and paprika, and pulse until well combined and sandy, about 30 seconds. Add butter and scallions, and pulse just until well blended, about 30 seconds. Continue pulsing and drizzle in 2 tablespoons of ice-cold water just until the dough comes together.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and divide in half. Roll each half into a log that is 1 inch in diameter and about 12 inches long. If using sesame seeds, spread them onto the work surface and roll the log over the seeds until lightly coated. Wrap each piece of dough in plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.
• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Using a sharp knife, slice chilled logs into ¼-inch-thick slices. Arrange them on the prepared sheets about ½ inch apart. Bake, switching the sheets from top to bottom and rotating halfway through, until golden and just firm (they will continue to crisp up as they cool), 23 to 25 minutes.
• Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them onto wire racks to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature overnight, then refrigerate for up to 1 week. To recrisp after refrigerating and serve warm, heat in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, cayenne, and nutmeg in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse to combine. Add butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheese, and pulse until combined. With the machine running, add milk. Process until the dough comes together and is well combined.
• Transfer the dough to a clean work surface. Shape the dough into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap with 2 layers of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 4 weeks.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Slice the well-chilled log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Transfer the slices to a baking sheet, and bake immediately, rotating the sheet halfway through baking, until the crackers are golden brown and firm in the center, 25 to 35 minutes. (The crackers should not get too dark around the edges.) Transfer to a rack to cool. The crackers may be made a day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse to combine flour, salt, and spices. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheddar; process until dough starts to hold together.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead a few times. Divide into four equal pieces, and roll into logs, each about 6 inches long and 1 1/4 inches wide. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or up to 3 days. (Dough can be frozen up to 1 month; thaw until pliable.)
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut dough into 1/3-inch-thick slices; place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets 1 minute, then transfer coins to a wire rack to cool completely. Cheese coins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
• To serve, spoon a small amount of jelly onto center of each coin.

Steps:

• Add the flour, both cheeses, salt and cayenne to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until combined.
• Scatter the cold butter chunks on top, and pulse again to form coarse crumbs.
• Add egg yolk, pecans and seeds, and pulse to combine thoroughly, yielding a coarse grainy meal.
• Transfer mixture to a large stainless-steel bowl. Sprinkle the ice water on top, and knead briefly to bring the dough together, as you would a pie dough.
• Divide the dough into thirds, and roll each into a neat, 8-inch-long cylinder that is about the width of a silver dollar. Wrap each log in plastic wrap, and twist the ends tightly in opposite directions, forming a perfect and compact torchon. Refrigerate until well chilled and completely firm; overnight is ideal.
• Heat the oven to 375. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. Unwrap the dough, discarding plastic wrap, and slice the logs into thin coins, each about the width of a pencil.
• Arrange the coins in neat rows on the prepared sheets, making sure they're not quite touching one another. This dough won't expand or flatten after baking.
• Bake until golden at their centers and just starting to toast at their edges, about 20 minutes. Check them midway through baking, and rotate sheets if your oven bakes unevenly.
• Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks to cool. Once they are fully cooled, transfer coins to an airtight container, where they will keep for up to 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Combine cheese with butter until creamed. Beat in flour, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Mix until dough is formed.
• Shape into two logs about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and about 10 inches long. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
• Slice rolls carefully into 1/4 inch slices and place on buttered baking sheets . Bake in a preheated 375 F oven for 7 to 9 minutes, or until just beginning to turn golden. Cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Combine flour, cheese, salt and cayenne. Add butter. Mix to form course crumbs. Stir yolk and water and drizzle over crumbs. Mix until crumbs are moist. Add finely minced nuts and mix briefly. Pile crumbs on unfloured surface. Wrap in plastic for 4 hours. Roll into 2 logs or roll out and cut. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Bake 375 F. for 15 to 20 minutes, until light brown.
