Cream Cheese Patties Recipes

CREAMY PEPPERMINT PATTIES

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese and extract until smooth. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating well., Shape into 1-in. balls. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Flatten into patties 1-1/2-1-3/4 in. in diameter. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour., In a microwave, melt chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Dip patties in melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off; place on waxed paper until set. Store in the refrigerator.

CREAM CHEESE JALAPENO HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for medium heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate. In a medium bowl, stir together the jalapenos and cream cheese.
• Divide the ground beef into 16 portions and pat out each one to 1/4 inch thickness. Spoon some of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of 8 of the patties. Top with the remaining patties, pressing the edges together to seal.
• Grill for about 10 minutes per side, or until well done, taking care not to press down on the burgers as they cook. This will make the cheese ooze out. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.

VEGETARIAN CREAM CHEESE PATTIES WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Place the cream cheese in the freezer for approximately 15 minutes, remove and cube into 1/2" chunks immediately while it is still very cold from the freezer. (This step will help to harden the cream cheese slightly so it will be easier cut.)
• In a medium to large bowl beat the eggs well, then add the cubed cream cheese, minced onions, finely chopped walnuts and bread crumbs. Mix VERY GENTLY until moistened and combined. Be careful not to break up the cream cheese chunks - they should stay in chunks in the patties.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees now so it is ready when you are done frying patties.
• Heat a small amount of oil in the bottom of a non-stick frying pan. DO NOT ADD ENTIRE 1/2 CUP OIL TO PAN! Only use enough oil to keep patties from sticking, adding more as needed - I usually start with 1 or 2 tablespoons.
• Using approximately 1/4 cup of the mixture per patty, drop into the hot oil and fry patties. Flatten patties if needed and turn over to fry other side when first side is golden to medium brown.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream and cream of mushroom soup for the gravy.
• Once the patties are fried place the patties in an oven safe casserole dish, layering with the gravy.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until patties are heated through.
• Serve immediately making sure to spoon some of the gravy over each patty.

VEGETARIAN COTTAGE CHEESE PATTIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat eggs into a large bowl. Stir in cottage cheese, rolled oats, wheat germ, dry onion soup mix, and dried thyme. Form into 8 patties.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place patties in oil, and brown on both sides. Remove patties to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Pour condensed soup into a small bowl. Stir in 1/2 can of water (or milk) to dilute, then pour over patties.
• Bake in a preheated oven until the soup is bubbly, about 20 minutes.

BAKED CHEESE & BROCCOLI PATTIES

Steps:

• preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
• Heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat, add in the garlic and onions. Season with salt/pepper to taste. Sauté until onions are garlic are tender, set aside to cool.
• Add the broccoli to a kitchen towel. Wrap the towel around the broccoli and squeeze out the extra moisture. Pour the drained broccoli into a large bowl, add the onion and garlic and mix gently.
• To the same bowl, add the panko, the cheeses, eggs, and salt/pepper to taste.
• Mix together and form into patties, place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip and bake for another 15 minutes or until browned and crispy.
