Soppressata And Provolone Grilled Cheese Food

SOPPRESSATA AND CHEESE IN PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
• Lay one sheet of puff pastry on a floured board and lightly roll into a 10-inch square. Place it on the sheet pan and brush the pastry with all the mustard, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange the soppressata in overlapping layers on the mustard and sprinkle the grated cheese evenly on the soppressata, also avoiding the border. Brush the border with the egg wash.
• Lightly roll the second piece of puff pastry into a 10-inch square. Lay the pastry directly on top of the first square, lining up the edges. Brush the top with the egg wash, cut three large slits for steam to escape, and chill for 15 minutes.
• When the pastry is cold, trim the edges with a very sharp knife to make a clean edge. Bake the pastry in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once while baking, until puffed and brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes, cut in squares, and serve hot or warm.

SOPPRESSATA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Split open and quarter 1 baguette. Layer thick slices of sharp provolone and thinly sliced soppressata on the bread. Add some baby arugula and drizzle with sweet Italian vinaigrette.

FLAMING BROILED PROVOLONE WITH PARSLEY TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Make the toasts: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil and garlic with a pinch of salt. Spread on top of the toasts and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the tray in the oven and cook until the toast is browned, 5-8 minutes. Remove from the oven, arrange on a platter and top with the parsley.
• Broil and serve: Arrange the cheese in single layer in a 9-inch baking dish and place in the oven to melt, 5-8 minutes. Turn on the broiler and place the dish under the broiler 2 minutes more. Remove, sprinkle with salt and place on the table next to the toasts. Pour the gin over the cheese and carefully light it until it flames. Watch the flame burn until it runs out and dig in!

PROVOLETA (GRILLED PROVOLONE CHEESE)

Steps:

• Make the chimichurri: In a small bowl, stir together the parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper, crushed red pepper, vinegar and water. Thin with a little more water, if necessary, to make a pourable sauce. Set aside to let flavors meld. Sauce may be prepared up to 1 hour in advance.
• Set a small cast-iron pan over medium-high heat (or over hot coals). When pan is hot, put in the cheese. Sprinkle with half the oregano and crushed red pepper.
• Cook for about 2 minutes, until the bottom begins to brown. Carefully flip the cheese with a spatula and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, until the second side is browned and the cheese is beginning to ooze. Transfer cheese to a plate and sprinkle with remaining oregano and crushed red pepper. Serve immediately, accompanied with bread and chimichurri. (Alternatively, finish the cheese by putting it under the broiler or in a hot oven.)

PEPPERONI GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Mash the butter with the Parmesan, garlic, parsley and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• On a work surface, lay out 4 slices bread. Top each piece of bread with 2 slices mozzarella, 6 slices pepperoni, 1 more slice mozzarella and another slice of bread. Spread some of the herb butter on each sandwich.
• In a large nonstick skillet, cook the sandwiches in batches as needed over medium-low heat until browned and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Season with salt.
