Ranchcheesepuffs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a saucepan, heat the milk, butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg over medium heat, until scalded. Add the flour all at once and beat it vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat for 2 minutes. The flour will begin to coat the bottom of the pan. Dump the hot mixture into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Immediately add the eggs, Gruyere, and Parmesan and pulse until the eggs are incorporated and the dough is smooth and thick.
• Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round tip. Pipe in mounds 1 1/4 inches wide and 3/4-inch high onto the baking sheets. With a wet finger, lightly press down the swirl at the top of each puff. (You can also use 2 spoons to scoop out the mixture and shape the puffs with damp fingers.) Brush the top of each puff lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with a pinch of Gruyere. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown outside but still soft inside.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill or broiler. In a large bowl, combine seasoning mix with the beef and cheese and mix with clean hands until incorporated. Shape the meat into four 1/4 pound burgers about 1-inch thick. Grill the burgers about 5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Serve immediately on the hamburger buns.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• In a bowl, mix the ground beef, ranch dressing mix, egg, crushed crackers, and onion. Form into hamburger patties.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place patties on the grill, and cook 5 minutes per side, or until well done.

Steps:

• Mix the first three ingredients.
• Spread mixture on bread slices.
• Broil until puffed and golden (about 3 or 4 minutes).

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in the cheddar cheese, onions and dressing mix. Transfer to a small bowl. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour., Serve with crackers and/or vegetables.

Steps:

• Combine the butter and cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Add the flour, ricotta, salt, pepper, parsley and egg, and stir until well combined. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet, spacing the rounds about an inch apart. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill until the rounds are frozen solid, at least 30 minutes.
• Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 450 degrees. Transfer the baking sheet with the puffs directly to the oven and bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the puffs to a serving platter and sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve immediately.
