Asparagus And Cheese Popover With Spicy Herb Oil Recipes

CHEESE AND HERB POPOVERS

Steps:

• For the blistered tomato dip: Spray a popover pan with nonstick spray and place in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the tomatoes, olive oil, sugar, salt, vinegar, pepper, thyme and rosemary to a large skillet. Toss the tomatoes to evenly coat. Cook over medium heat until the skins blister and the juices release, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove and discard the herb sprigs and pulse in a blender 3 to 4 times to make a chunky dip (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
• For the popovers: Clean the blender and put in the eggs and milk. Blend until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the Parmesan, chicken stock and butter. Blend until incorporated and homogenous, 1 minute more. Add the flour, parsley, thyme, scallions, salt and pepper to the batter. Blend once again, just until incorporated.
• Divide the batter evenly among the 6 popover cups, filling each halfway. Bake the popovers, rotating the pan after 20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed above the edge of the pan, about 35 minutes.
• Serve warm with the blistered tomato dip.

SPICY HAM ASPARAGUS CHEESE POTATO ROLL UPS (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Prepare veggies. Thinly slice big potato in the long direction. You'll need about 15 slices that you are able to roll up and hold together with a toothpick. The bigger, the better. Cut asparagus into 1" sections. (I steamed my asparagus before baking the rolls but I'm not sure if it was necessary). Toss asparagus with small amount of oil, salt, and pepper.
• Spray cooking sheet with oil and place potato slices onto sheet.
• In middle of each slice, place small amount of ham and asparagus. Put a small amount of cheese in each also. Don't put too much in or it'll melt out all over the cookie sheet. Reserve some cheese for topping.
• Roll each potato slice and stab all the way through with tooth pick.
• Spray rolls with cooking spray and sprinkle with red pepper, black pepper and salt. Place 1 slice of jalapeno on each tooth pick (so it doesn't fall off). Sprinkle reserved cheese on top of rolls.
• Bake at 425F for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes begin to crisp.
