Kellymacs Brie And Prosciutto Panini Recipes

PROSCIUTTO AND MOZZARELLA PANINI

Steps:

• Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl to blend.
• Arrange the slices of bread on a flat work surface and spread the vinaigrette on one side of each slice. Divide the mozzarella equally among 4 of the bread slices. Top with the prosciutto and roasted red peppers, then place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, vinaigrette-side down, to form 4 sandwiches.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing them occasionally with a large spatula or the bottom of a small heavy saucepan, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 4 minutes per side.

PROSCIUTTO AND BRIE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Arrange the baguette slices on the prepared baking sheet. Cut the Brie into 1/4-inch-thick slices and put 1 slice on each piece of baguette. Broil until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Drizzle the toasts with the honey and then top with some prosciutto and a sprinkle of thyme leaves if using.

KELLYMAC'S BRIE AND PROSCIUTTO PANINI

Steps:

• Spray grill or panini press with non-stick cooking spray. (I prefer olive oil cooking spray because I think it tastes a lot better).
• Spread mayonaise and mustard on bread to your preference.
• Put prosciutto on bottom piece of bread, top with cheese and second piece of bread. (Putting the cheese on top allows it to melt into the rest of the sandwich rather than just out and onto the grill.).
• Grill until golden brown.

KELLYMAC'S CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FILLED PUFF PASTRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large saucepan over medium low heat combine sugar, cocoa, flour, and salt.
• Add water gradually stirring after every addition. The mixture will look really watery but it thickens up quickly. Cook this over medium heat stirring constantly.
• Once mixture has thickened add Kahlua and chocolate chips. Lower the heat.
• Stir until the chips have all melted and mixture has thickened again.
• Add cream cheese, butter, and vanilla and once again stir until all incorporated and mixture almost starts to boil, or until it reaches the consistency of hot fudge. Be careful not to let the chocolate on the bottom burn!
• Allow to cool while puff pastry is prepared.
• Unfold puff pastry sheets on parchment paper and use a rolling pin to stretch by about 1 inch on all sides and to smooth out folds.
• Cut each pastry sheet into four squares.
• Place sqaures on greased cookie sheets.
• Place approximately 1/4 cup of filling in center of pastry and then immediately fold corners in to make a square envelope. Pinch the corners to ensure that it stays together.
• Repeat for remaining pastry squares.
• Make an egg wash by beating together the egg and milk and brush on each puff pastry.
• Sprinkle puff pastries with cinnamon sugar.
• Place in oven and bake for approxiately 30 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flakey.
• Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes and then sprinkle powdered sugar over the top of each pastry square before serving.
• Good alone or served with ice cream or whipped cream.
