Spinach Pinwheels

Ingredients

1 egg
1 tbsp. water
1/2 cup shredded Muenster cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 green onion, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
All-purpose flour
1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package puff pastry sheets (canned pastries) (1 sheet), thawed
1 pkg. (about 10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained

Directions

Heat the oven to 400°F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork.
Stir the Muenster cheese, Parmesan cheese, onion and garlic powder in a medium bowl.
Sprinkle the flour on the work surface. Unfold the pastry sheet on the work surface. Brush the pastry sheet with the egg mixture. Top with the cheese mixture and spinach. Starting at a short side, roll up like a jelly roll. Cut into about 20 (1/2-inch) slices. Place the slices, cut-side down, onto 2 baking sheets. Brush the slices with the egg mixture.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Remove the pastries from the baking sheets and let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.
For best results, make sure to remove as much liquid as you can from the spinach before adding it to the pastry. If it's too wet, it may make the pastry soggy

Fried Risotto

Sometimes you just have to live a little

Ingredients

8 cups vegetable oil - for frying
6 cups risotto - cooked, spread on a baking sheet, chilled
24 (1/4 pound) mozzarella - cut into ½ cubes
2 cups flour
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups bread crumbs - fine

Directions

Dip fingers in water and shape 2 rounded tablespoons chilled risotto into a (1 1/2) ball around a cube of mozzarella. Roll in palm of hands to make a smooth ball. Place ball on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Repeat until you have formed 32 balls. Cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigeration until ready to fry. (The recipe may be prepared a day in advance to this point.)
In a large pot or Dutch Oven, heat oil to 360°F-370°F. (Use a deep fat or candy thermometer to gauge the temperature).
Put flour, eggs and bread crumbs in separate bowls. For each risotto ball: roll in flour and shake off excess; dip in egg and let excess drip off; roll in bread crumbs; transfer to a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
Using a metal slotted spoon or skimmer, lower six balls into the oil. Fry until golden brown, approximately 3 to 3 1/2 minutes per batch of six. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Repeat until all the balls are fried.
The risotto balls are best if served immediately. They may be held in a 250°F oven while the remaining balls are fried.

Buffalo Chicken Rolls

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/3 cup celery, small diced
1/3 cup carrot, small diced
3 Tbsp mild buffalo wing sauce
3 Tbsp barbecue sauce
Egg roll wrappers
4 to 6 cups peanut oil

Directions

In a medium saucepan, add 4 quarts of water and chicken. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and allow to boil for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove chicken and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to cool.
Using 2 forks, shred the chicken and place in a medium-size bowl. Add the celery, carrot, buffalo wing sauce, and barbecue sauce. Mix well.
On each egg roll wrapper, place 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture. Roll up the egg roll per package instructions (like an egg roll). Dab the last edge with water to help to help seal.

To Bake: You can also bake these in a pre-heated 425 degree oven. Spray the filled egg rolls with cooking spray and then bake for 10-15 minutes (turning half way through) until golden brown and crisp.

A Good Deviled Egg

Ingredients

1 dozen eggs
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
⅓ cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp minced shallot or onion
¼ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
Salt and pepper
Paprika

Directions

First hard boil the eggs. (See how to make hard boiled eggs.) Fill up a large saucepan half-way with cold water and gently add the eggs. Cover the eggs with at least an inch of water, preferably two inches. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Cover, and remove from heat. Let sit covered for 10-12 minutes. Drain hot water from pan and run cold water over the eggs. (At this point if you crack the egg shells while the eggs are cooling, it will make it easier to peel the shells.) Let sit in the cool water a few minutes, changing the water if necessary to keep it cool.
If you are working with very fresh eggs which can be difficult to peel when hard boiled, I suggest steaming the eggs to hard cook them instead. Just fill a saucepan with an inch of water and insert a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil and place the eggs in the steamer basket. Cover and let the eggs steam from the boiling water for about 15 minutes. Then shock with cold water and peel.
Peel the eggs. Using a sharp knife, slice each egg in half, lengthwise. Gently remove the yolk halves and place in a small mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.
Using a fork, mash up the yolks and add mustard, mayonnaise, onion, tabasco, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Add more mayonnaise as necessary to get to the creamy consistency you want.
Pipe through a piping bag (star tip) or simply use a spoon to put the egg yolk mixture into the egg white halves. Sprinkle with paprika.
