Coating Cheese Sauce Food

CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour the milk in a large saucepan, place it over medium heat, and let it warm until you see small bubbles forming along the edge of the pan.
• Meanwhile, in another saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Sprinkle the flour over the bubbling butter and stir constantly until a thick paste, or roux, forms. It may become quite thick and almost paste-like. This is okay. And if it doesn't become crazy thick, that's okay, too. Expect this to take 1 to 2 minutes.
• Constantly whisking, slowly pour the warm milk into the flour and butter mixture in a steady stream. Continue cooking and whisking almost constantly until the mixture thickens considerably, about 5 minutes. It should be thick but still spreadable and perhaps even pourable.
• Add the cheese and whisk constantly until it completely melts. Season with the cayenne or hot sauce and salt and pepper to taste. If you're the fussy sort, you can strain the sauce through a sieve to remove any lumps before serving. The sauce will thicken even more upon cooling.

QUICK CHICKEN AND WINE

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. In a shallow plate, spread Parmesan cheese. Divide chicken into three parts and dip seasoned chicken in eggs, then coat well with Parmesan cheese. Repeat until all of the chicken pieces are well coated (if you run short on egg and Parmesan, add one more egg and more Parmesan as needed).
• In a skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium high heat. Cook chicken, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
• Reduce heat and add wine. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes

DIY CHOCOLATE SHELL COATING

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate, shortening, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until smooth, about 4 minutes. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into a small bowl. Pour over ice cream and let harden, or use as a coating for snacks like fruit or pretzels.

MAC & CHEESE RING

Steps:

• Mac 'n' Cheese:.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 12 cup bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Coat pan with bread crumbs as if flouring the pan.
• In a dutch oven melt butter over medium high heat. Once the butter has melted whisk in the flour to form a roux. Gradually whisk in milk until there are no lumps. Whisk in both cheeses.
• Once the mixture is smooth turn off the heat and stir in the cooked pasta and bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stirring quickly add the eggs being sure not to let them scramble.
• Spoon the mixture in the prepared bundt pan. Use a spatula to press the pasta down to create an even layer. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
• Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to loosen the sides of the pan before removing.
• Serve with cheese sauce and garnish with crumbled bacon and chives.
• Cheese sauce:.
• Bring the half and half to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the cheese in small handfuls and whisk until smooth.

CHEESY CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a baking dish.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg yolks and water.
• Pulse crackers in food processor until fairly fine crumbs are formed.
• In a pie plate combine cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup flour, paprika, and Parmesan cheese.
• Coat chicken in egg mixture and then dredge in cracker crumb mixture.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a large nonstick pan. Add chicken, turn heat to medium-high and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
• Place in baking dish and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in flour and cook for about 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until sauce simmers and thickens.
• Whisk in Worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat and whisk in cheddar cheese.
• Serve chicken topped with cheese sauce.

COATING CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter over a medium heat.
• Slowly add the flour and beat till smooth.
• Remove from the heat and slowly add the milk, making sure to mix well. You want to avoid lumps. If you get some, fishing them out on the spoon and squishing them with the fork to break them up can help.
• Bring to a boil and cook gently for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly.
• Add the cheese and mustard if you have it (I'd not worry if you don't I doubt it's enough to fuss over.) The more cheese the better in my book, but for a thinner sauce you might want just the 4 oz.
• Serve immediately, or pour into Tupperware and put in the fridge. The sauce will firm up,but just cut off as much as you want and warm in either the microwave or a pan. You can add more milk to thin if needed.

GOOEY CHEESE STICKS (FRIED OR BAKED)

Steps:

• Open the cheese strings and cut each in half. Cover and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen.
• Combine flour and cornstarch in a small bowl. Combine the Italian and Panko bread crumbs in a separate shallow dish. In third small bowl, whisk eggs and olive oil until well combined.
• Dip each cheese stick half into the egg mixture and then gently roll into the flour mixture.
• Put back into the egg mixture and roll until coated. Finally, place into the bread crumbs pressing the crumbs on each piece of cheese to make sure it's coated all around so the cheese doesn't leak out.
• Place in the freezer while the oil preheats. Preheat oil to 350°F. It should be hot enough that a few crumbs dropped into the oil will bubble.
• In small batches, place breaded cheese sticks into the hot oil for about 2 minutes or just until browned. Do not overcook or the cheese will leak out.
• Serve hot with warm pasta sauce.

CHEESE SAUCE FOR PHILLY CHEESE STEAKS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt the butter on low heat.
• Once melted, gradually add the flour, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, about 2 minutes.You should end up with a thick but still stirrable roux (A roux is basically just equal part butter and flour stirred over some heat and then you add your liquid ingredients to it. It's a thickener and can be used to start all sorts of cream sauces).
• Add 1/4 cup milk slowly to the roux and cook over low heat. Stir until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
• Add the cheddar cheese, the remaining 1/4 cup milk and Velvetta and cook, stirring frequently, until you have a smooth cheese sauce, about 5 minutes.
