Chef Joeys Dairy Free Pound Cake Food

CHEF JOEY'S DAIRY FREE POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Zest the lemons and set aside. Do this before juicing as its easier.
• Set oven to 325'F.
• Grease a 16 cup tube pan. Dust with flour by swirling it around the bottom and sides. Then flour the tube as well. Tap out the excess.
• Sift the spelt, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the margarine until it's light and fluffy.
• Add in the sifted sugar and beat for about 5 minutes making sure the sugar is well incorporated.
• Add the egg replacer in 1/4 cup increments until all added and make sure this is well mixed.
• Beat in the lemon zest and juice.
• With a good rubber spatula add in the sifted dry ingredients until well mixed.
• Mix in the vegan sour cream.
• Put the batter into your prepared tube cake pan.
• Bake for about 1 1/2 hours. Using a wooden kabob skewer test for done-ness. I stuck the skewer a few times near the middle as this is the thickest part. If it comes out clean then the cake is done.
• Cool on a metal rack for 15-20 minutes. Then run a knife around the outside of the cake.
• Turn the cake onto the metal cooling rack and then put it right side up. Let the cake cool completely.
• You can make this a few days ahead.
• Wrap in tin foil and store in the fridge.
• Remove what you're going to eat before serving and let come to room temperature.
• Bon Appetit!

CHEF JOEY'S HERB AND MUSHROOM QUICHE (DAIRY FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350'F. Put rack in the middle of the oven.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry and put it into a 9 inch pie pan. I wish I had a square pie pan, it would be easier to use, but a round one works OK.
• Put the rolled out puff pastry into your pie pan leaving the edges hang over a little because the pastry will shrink.
• Poke holes "all over" the puff pastry and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool and prepare your ingredients.
• In a non-stick saute pan cook the celery and green onions until slightly soft, add the mushrooms and saute for about 3 more minutes. Set this aside.
• Chop up your herbs and grate your cheese.
• Whisk up the eggs and add the milk and salt and pepper. Give it a good stir. At this point I mixed the sauteed veggies to the egg milk mixture and gave it another good stir.
• Once the puff pastry shell is cooked remove it from the oven -- leaving the oven on.
• Take 1/2 the blue cheese and sprinkle it onto the bottom of the puff pastry crust. The other half will go on top. Then sprinkle the the Monterrey jack cheese on the bottom and up the sides of the puff pastry. If you don't use it all save what you have left for the top.
• Add the veggie, egg/milk mixture into the puff pastry crust. Sprinkle with the fresh herbs and sprinkle the rest of the cheese you have left on top.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes.
• Bon Appetit!
