PARMESAN-TOMATO ROUNDS

Steps:

• In food processor bowl, pulse cheese, butter and tomato paste 2 to 3 minutes or until well mixed. Add flour, basil, salt and red pepper and pulse until well combined. Dough should be firm but not dry. If dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time and pulsing 30 seconds after each addition, until mixture holds together and a soft, clay-like dough is formed.
• Wet a paper towel and rub it over work surface. Place 12-inch piece of plastic wrap on dampened surface (the dampness helps plastic wrap stick to work surface). Scoop half of dough onto plastic wrap and form into a rough log shape. Roll log in plastic wrap and seal ends (log should be about 12 inches long and 1 1/4 inches in diameter). Repeat with remaining half of dough. Refrigerate logs at least 2 hours or until firm. (Dough can be refrigerated 3 days or wrapped in foil and frozen 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator 2 hours before cutting.)
• Heat oven to 400°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
• Remove 1 log from refrigerator and remove plastic wrap. Use serrated knife to cut 1/4-inch slices from log. Place rounds about 1/2 inch apart on cookie sheets.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Remove cookie sheets from oven and cool 2 minutes. Remove rounds from cookie sheet to wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in airtight container.

PARMESAN POTATO ROUNDS

Turn slices and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake 30 minutes more or until tender.

BAKED POLENTA WITH FRESH TOMATOES AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
• Place the water, milk, and butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the polenta and stir with a wooden spoon until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup Parmesan cheese and 2 chopped basil leaves; season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the polenta to the prepared baking dish and arrange the remaining chilled pieces of butter over the top.
• Bake the polenta in the preheated oven until bubbly and beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Decoratively arrange the slices of tomato over the top of the polenta, spread the remaining basil leaves over the tomatoes, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
• Return to the oven and bake until the tomatoes are warm and the Parmesan cheese is bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.

PARMESAN CHEESE ROUNDS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to 425 degrees F.
• With a 2 1/8-inch cookie cutter, cut 2 rounds out of each slice of bread. Arrange the rounds on a baking sheet and place 5 inches from the heat source. Toast the bread on one side until they are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Using a whisk, mix together the mayonnaise and Parmesan in a small bowl. Remove the bread from the oven and turn the rounds over to the untoasted sides. Spread each with a thin layer of mustard. Put 1 onion slice on top and cover with about 1 teaspoon of the mayonnaise mixture, spreading the mixture across the onion and bread.
• Broil until golden, about 1 minute. Never take your eyes off these; the time varies with different ovens. Work in batches of 24 rounds. Serve one batch hot while the next is cooking.

TOMATO ROUNDS

Steps:

• Turn on broiler, with rack at 6-8" Set out cream cheese to soften Slice roma's to desired thickness.
• I do approx. the same thickness as my baguette rounds to make a nice, hearty appetizer.
• Toasts: Slice baguette into 1/4" thick rounds, and place on an ungreased, good cookie sheet (something like Airware, for even toasting)
• Pour olive oil into small dish and stir in desired amount of garlic salt (can be ommitted) Using, preferably, a pastry brush, dress each round w/olive oil mix. (You can use a paper towel wrapped over a couple fingers if you don't have a pastry brush.)
• Place cookie sheet under broiler, and keep a close watch. Estimate 2 minutes for toasting, but these can burn quickly. So use your eyes to know when they're ready to come out of the oven.
• Spread: Mix softened cream cheese with seasonings. I usually do a garlic-herb blend or I have a garlic spread mix from Costo that works great. Mix in desired amount of parmesan cheese.
• It usually only takes a little; remember you don't want to compete with the flavors of the roma's Assemble: Spread cream cheese mixture on toasts, and top with tomato slice.
• Tuck in a basil leaf for garnish. I have also used a little parley instead of basil.
