Cheese Volcano Recipes

CHEESY VOLCANO FRIED RICE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until halfway done, 3-5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and green onions to the center and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Make some space in the middle of the pan, add the kimchi, and cook until the juices reduce and kimchi starts to turn reddish brown, about 3 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, mirin, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Add to the skillet and cook until well incorporated, about 1 minute.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is warmed through and crispy on the bottom, 3-4 minutes.
• Transfer the rice mixture to a deep bowl and press down with spatula to compact.
• Place a medium skillet over the bowl, then flip to invert the rice volcano. Lift the bowl. Use the back of a spoon to carefully press an indentation into the top of the volcano, then make a crevasse in the side to allow the cheese to flow out.
• In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the eggs.
• Turn the heat to medium, then pour the egg mixture over the rice volcano and top with the mozzarella cheese. Cover the pan and cook until the cheese is melted and the egg is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Garnish with more scallions if desired.
• Enjoy!

FAUXRITOS

Steps:

• For the cheese powder: Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F. Mix the cheeses and spread in as close to a single layer as possible on a cookie sheet. Bake for 8 hours. The cheese will appear dry and a little greasy. Remove the cookie sheet and blot dry with paper towels. Remove the cheese and place on another clean cookie sheet. Blot again if necessary. Bake until very dry, 2 more hours. Remove the cookie sheet and blot a final time. Allow to cool in a dry place.
• Put the cheese crisps in a blender or spice grinder and pulverize. BEHOLD!!! FINGER LICKIN' GOOD CHEESE POWDER! Reserve.
• For the chips: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375 degrees F in a deep skillet. Fry the tortillas, in batches, until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per batch. Place on a wire rack to drain. While still hot, season with the cheese powder.

GRILLED POTATO VOLCANOES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Thoroughly scrub the potatoes and poke a few holes in them to vent. Wrap in aluminum foil and place on the grill over direct heat to cook for 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, mix 1 ½ cups (150g) of cheddar cheese, the cream cheese, and green onions in a medium bowl until well-combined. Set aside.
• Remove the potatoes from the grill and let them rest until they are cool enough to handle. Unwrap each potato and cut off the ends so they can stand up. Using a melon baller or a spoon, carve out the center of each potato, being careful not to make the walls too thin, and to leave a bit of thickness at the bottom as well. Fill the potatoes with the cheese mixture and wrap 2 slices of bacon around each one. Secure the bacon with toothpicks, if necessary.
• Reduce the grill temperature to about 350˚F (175˚C) and place the potatoes on the grill over indirect heat for 30 minutes with the lid closed.
• After 30 minutes, top the potatoes with the remaining cheddar cheese and cook for another 15 minutes. Before serving, garnish with a dollop of sour cream and some green onions.
• Enjoy!
