Camembert Prosciutto Tartines Recipes

Steps:

• Make the roasted tomato tapenade: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Halve 4 tomatoes and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place the tomatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet, tucking 1 thyme sprig under each. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and roast until the skins start to loosen, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; set aside until cool enough to handle, then pinch off the skins and discard. Return the tomatoes to the oven and continue roasting until slightly dried, about 1 hour. Discard the thyme and set the tomatoes aside to cool. (Keep the oven on.)
• Puree the roasted tomatoes, olives, anchovy, garlic, capers, vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons water in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and set aside. (The tapenade can be made 1 day ahead; transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate.)
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Working in batches, add the prosciutto slices in a single layer and cook, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Cut the baguette in half crosswise, then split each half open to make 4 pieces. Place cut-side up on a baking sheet and bake until golden around the edges, about 5 minutes. Slice the remaining tomatoes. Spread the roasted tomato tapenade on the baguette. Arrange the mozzarella and sliced tomatoes on top. Season with salt and pepper, then top with the prosciutto and some arugula and basil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium size saucepot, combine the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and 2 ounces of the sugar and bring to a boil.
• Place the egg yolks in a separate bowl. When the milk is ready, whisk in the egg yolks with the remaining 2 ounces of the sugar, cornstarch, and flour. Mix well until everything is incorporated. Slowly add the hot milk to the egg yolk mixture and whisk constantly. Pour the mixture back into the pot and place it on medium heat. Whisk constantly until it becomes thick and it comes to a boil, then remove from heat.
• Add the Camembert to the hot mixture and melt it completely. If needed, place the pot back on the stove to melt the cheese. Once the cheese has melted, strain it through a fine sieve or strainer. Place the custard into a mixer with a paddle attachment and mix it until cool or room temperature.
• In a clean mixing bowl, place the egg whites and whisk until frothy. Slowly add the sugar and whisk until medium peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the custard.
• Have the souffle molds buttered all the way up the sides, and coat with sugar. Pour the mixture into the molds 3/4 of the way up. Place the molds into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
• To serve, place each souffle on a plate and serve with fruit.
