Epogne With Pears Ham And Blue Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Peel the pears and slice them lengthwise into halves. With a small sharp paring knife and a melon baller, remove the core and seeds from each pear, leaving a round well for the filling. Trim a small slice away from the rounded sides of each pear half so that they will sit in the baking dish without wobbling. Toss the pears with some lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown. Arrange them, core side up, in a baking dish large enough to hold the pears snugly.
• Gently toss the crumbled blue cheese, dried cranberries, and walnuts together in a small bowl. Divide the mixture among the pears, mounding it on top of the indentation.
• In the same small bowl, combine the apple cider, port, and brown sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the mixture over and around the pears. Bake the pears, basting occasionally with the cider mixture, for 30 minutes, or until tender. Set aside until warm or at room temperature.
• Just before serving, whisk together the olive oil, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of the basting liquid in a large bowl. Divide the arugula among 6 plates and top each with a pear half. Drizzle each pear with some of the basting liquid, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Make the bread dough through Step 1. Meanwhile, peel, core and slice the pears thin. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pear slices and saute until they begin to brown. Remove from the heat, cover the pan and let stand for 15 minutes. Trim the fat from the prosciutto and cut it into slivers. Set aside. Remove the rind from the cheese, crumble it into large pieces and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Sprinkle a baking sheet lightly with the cornmeal. Punch the dough down. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a 10-inch circle. Top with the prosciutto slivers, then the pear slices and their juices. Season with the salt and pepper. Bake until the edge of the bread is golden, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top and continue to bake until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Cut into 6 wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the grapeseed oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pepperoni and fry, turning as needed, until crisp around the edges, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain; pour off the fat and wipe out the skillet.
• Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Whisk the eggs and milk in a bowl; add to the skillet and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Cook, running a rubber spatula around the edges and along the bottom to prevent the eggs from sticking, until almost set, 2 to 3 minutes; sprinkle with the cheese, pepperoni and scallion, then cover and remove from the heat to finish cooking, about 1 more minute.

Steps:

• Spread soft blue cheese on pear slices and drizzle with honey.

Steps:

• Put the pears in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tsp of the oil. Heat a griddle pan, then cook the pears, in batches, for 1 min on each side. Set aside to cool.
• Mix the remaining oil, vinegar and honey. Toss the pears, leaves and cheese, divide between 4 plates and drizzle with the dressing. Serve with bread, if you like.

Steps:

• Tip the couscous into a heatproof bowl and pour over 140ml boiling water from the kettle. Cover and leave for 4 mins. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, mustard, vinegar and honey together in a bowl. Set aside.
• Toss the spinach, rocket and pears with the dressing. Fluff the couscous with a fork, then mix into the salad while still warm (this will wilt the greens slightly). Divide between two plates.
• Combine the ricotta and 2 tbsp water with most of the chives and the lemon zest. Top the salad with spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture, the ham and remaining chives. Finish with a grinding of black pepper, if you like.

Steps:

• Whisk egg substitute, egg, green onions, pepperoni slices, and garlic powder together in a bowl.
• Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat; add egg mixture, cover skillet, and cook until eggs are set, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle Romano cheese over eggs and season with salt and pepper.
