Edam Cheese Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the milk to almost boiling point with onion, bay leaf and cloves.
• Cover and allow to cool.
• Remove Onion, bay leaf and cloves.
• Bring back to boiling point.
• Add semolina and stir over a medium / gentle heat until the mixture becomes stiff and difficult to stir.
• Remove from heat and stir in cheese and mustard.
• Pour into a greased dish and spread out to a thickness of about 1 - 1 and 1/2 cm.
• Allow to cool.
• Cut into squares. I find that it makes 12 squares.
• Dip into beaten egg and then roll in breadcrumbs.
• Fry gently in a good quality oil. I prefer Virgin Olive Oil.
• Serve with a fresh green salad and mashed potatoes and tomato sauce or ketchup.
• NB: The quantity of cheese can be adjusted. Reducing the amount of cheese and adding a couple of tbsps of Parmesan works well.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 395°F.
• Rinse the cauliflower cut into florets.
• Boil the florets for 10 minutes in one cup of lightly-salted water. Drain.
• Beat the eggs with the condensed milk and half of the grated cheese.
• Add the flour and pepper and paprika to taste.
• Put the florets in a greased oven dish. Pour the egg-and-cheese mix over it and sprinkle the remainder of the grated cheese on top.
• Bake at 395ºF for about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring the water and butter to a boil in a thick bottomed pan. Remove from heat.
• Add the flour, beating it in with a wooden spoon.
• Return to a gentle heat, and mix well, until the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Gradually add the eggs, beating well. Add the cheese and seasonings.
• Using a spoon, scoop walnut sized pieces of mixture and deep fry in hot fat (185 degrees), or use two spoons and 'quenelle' them into cigar shapes by transferring from one spoon to another.
• Allow to cook for approx 10 minutes. Drain and serve with an added sprinkling of parmesan.

Steps:

• Lightly oil 8x8x2-inch metal baking pan. Whisk first 4 ingredients in bowl. Bring milk and 1 cup water to boil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Gradually whisk in dry ingredients. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until very thick, whisking constantly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in cheese. Transfer batter to prepared pan; press to even layer. Chill until cold.
• Cut fritter batter into 3 strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 8 rectangles. Turn rectangles out of pan onto work surface. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add fritters to skillet and sautée until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain. Arrange fritters on platter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.

Steps:

• Dice cheese the size of sugar cubes. Prick with a fork to allow the marinade to be absorbed.
• Mix all ingredients for marinade in a heavy-bottomed casserole and bring to a boil. Cool.
• Layer cheese and red pepper in a jar and pour marinade over all.
• Cover and chill. Keeps 2-3 weeks in refrigerator.
• Let come to room temperature before serving, allowing cheese to come to full-flavor.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Add leeks, broccoli stalks, potatoes, and chicken stock and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for about 3 minutes.
• Puree the soup in a blender or food processor.
• (Works best if you do a small amount at a time) Return the soup to the saucepan.
• Add the milk, and reheat the soup until hot.
• Add the cheese and stir until the cheese melts (about 1 minute).
• Serve hot, garnish with extra cheese.
