HAM AND CHEESE PUFFS



Ham and Cheese Puffs image

This is my cross-cultural take on a frequently served Swedish snack. If you're making the North African mantecaos specifically for this dish, you might omit the cumin, but I think they're more interesting with it. You can also make these with standard biscuits, in which case they're pretty simple.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter or neutral oil, like corn or grapeseed
5 shallots, sliced
2 cups diced cooked ham, pork, or slab bacon
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or dill leaves
Black pepper to taste
Cheese Mantecaos (page 35), cooled and sliced in half horizontally

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft and golden, about 3 minutes. Lower the heat and add the meat; cook, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, egg, and herbs. Add to the meat mixture and cook until just heated through. Season with pepper and spoon into the Cheese Mantecaos, making little sandwiches. Serve immediately.

CHEESE MANTECAOS



Cheese Mantecaos image

These are the Platonic ideal of our packaged cheese puffs, with the texture of macaroons and the flavors of fresh cheese and fragrant spices. Serve as a snack or stand-up food. You can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it until you are ready to bake or make the biscuits themselves ahead of time and store them in an airtight container for up to a day.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold butter, cubed
2 cups grated Emmental (Swiss), Gruyère, Cantal, or good-quality Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
3 teaspoons cumin seeds, lightly toasted in a dry skillet until fragrant
1 tablespoon paprika, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Put the butter, cheese, flour, egg, salt, cayenne, and cumin into the bowl of a food processor and pulse, just until the mixture resembles coarse meal; do not over process. (You can also use a pastry cutter or a fork to cut the mixture to the same consistency.)
  • Form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Line the balls on a nonstick or lightly greased baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between them. Slightly flatten each ball with your fingers.
  • Bake until the pastries puff and become golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack, then garnish with paprika if you like and serve within a few hours.
  • Omit the cumin and paprika; increase the cayenne to 1 teaspoon, or to taste.
