Cappuccino Glaze Recipe Recipes Recipe For Stuffed

COFFEE-GLAZED BACON WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Combine the maple syrup, instant coffee, and pepper to taste in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the coffee dissolves. Remove from the heat. Stir in the bacon until coated.
• Arrange the bacon on the rack; drizzle with some of the remaining coffee syrup. Bake 20 minutes, then flip and drizzle with the remaining syrup; continue baking until the bacon is dark brown and glazed, about 15 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until opaque around the edges, about 2 minutes. Cover and cook 4 to 6 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining butter and eggs. Serve the fried eggs with the bacon and toast.

HONEY GLAZED STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut a slit in each chicken breast, and stuff with equal amounts Boursin cheese. Wrap each breast with 2 slices bacon. Secure with toothpicks. Arrange on a baking sheet.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken juices run clear. Drizzle breasts with equal amounts of honey during the final 5 minutes of cook time.

THE PERFECT CAPPUCCINO

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the water into the boiler of your espresso machine.
• Place the 2 tablespoons (2 shots) of ground coffee into the portafilter.
• Tamp (press) the coffee down using a tamper. Do this 2 to 3 times to make sure the grounds are packed tightly.
• Place the portafilter into your espresso machine's group head and lock it in place by turning it to the right.
• Place a demitasse cup or the glass carafe that came with your espresso machine under the group head and pull the shot for 23 to 30 seconds, or until 2 ounces of espresso is yielded. Typically, there is a lever, switch, or button to start this process.
• Once the shot is pulled, foam the milk.
• Place the milk into either a glass measuring cup or a small metal pitcher.
• Insert the steam wand into the container with the milk, just under the surface of the milk.
• Engage the steam wand on your espresso machine. (You may need to read your espresso machine's manual for this, as each espresso maker is a little different.)
• Make sure to keep the tip of the wand toward the side of the container. This will create a vortex with the milk.
• Move the container higher, lower, closer, then further so that the steam wand can incorporate the air into the milk, making the foam. The bubbles should get smaller and smaller as you do this.
• Once the milk has foamed to double its size, turn the steam wand off.
• Top the espresso with foamed milk right after foaming. When initially poured, cappuccino is only espresso and foam, but the liquid milk quickly settles out of the foam to create the (roughly) equal parts foam, steamed milk, and espresso for which cappuccino is known.
