Cordon Bleu Chocolate Roulade Recipes

CORDON BLEU CHOCOLATE ROULADE

Steps:

• Line a 12" x 8" swiss roll tin with oiled greaseproof paper or brush a paper case with oil or melted shortening (instructions for making a paper case will follow).
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Separate the eggs.
• Beat yolks and add sugar gradually until mixture is lemon coloured.
• Melt chocolate in the water using a double boiler.
• When the chocolate is a thick cream, remove from heat.
• Whip the egg whites until they form a firm snow.
• Add chocolate to egg yolk mixture.
• Gently cut and fold the egg whites into the mixture and turn it into the prepared tin or case.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until firm when touched.
• Wet a clean cloth in cold water and wring out.
• Remove roulade from oven, allow to cool slightly, then cover with cloth (this will prevent any sugary crust from forming).
• Leave in a cool place for 12 hours or in a fridge overnight.
• Whip the cream and flavour to taste with the essence.
• Lay a piece of greaseproof paper on a flat surface.
• Dust well with icing sugar.
• Remove cloth and turn roulade upside down on the prepared paper.
• Carefully remove paper from roulade.
• Spread with the whipped cream.
• Roll up like a swiss roll.
• Place on a serving dish and dust well with icing sugar.
• How to make a roulade case:.
• Use thick greaseproof paper or nonstick kitchen paper.
• It should be 1 1/2 inches longer and wider than the pan you are using.
• Fold a 1 1/2 inch border on all 4 sides.
• Cut a slit at each corner and fold one cut piece over the other to miter the corners.
• Use paperclips to secure the corners.
• Slide the case onto a baking sheet.
• Lightly brush with oil, melted butter or melted shortening before use.

TURKEY CORDON BLEU STUFFED WITH HAM, ROASTED GREEN CHILES AND BRIE

Steps:

• For the chile stuffing: Preheat a grill to high heat (you can also use a broiler if you don't have a grill). Place the whole chiles on the grill and cook until well charred and blistered, turning every 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and cover with plastic wrap so they "sweat," making them easier to peel. Let the chiles stand for 5 minutes before uncovering and using towels to rub off the skins. Discard the skins, remove the cores and seeds and finely chop the chiles. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the cheeses and stir together to form a stuffing. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the turkey cordon bleu: Make a horizontal cut down the length of the thin side of each turkey breast using a sharp thin knife. Open the breasts up like a book so the cut-sides are exposed facing up and the skin-side is down, with the "spine" of the chicken horizontal on your work surface. Sprinkle the turkey with salt and pepper.
• Lay 5 slices of the deli ham on each breast and trim the edges so the ham fits inside the breast and there is a small border around the turkey. Leaving this gap will ensure that when the turkey is rolled up it forms a nice seal and the stuffing doesn't ooze out everywhere. Divide the poblano-cheese stuffing in thirds and spread on each of the breasts evenly, leaving a small border around the edge. Starting from one side, tightly roll up the turkey away from you, stuffing in any of the filling as it tries to escape at the edges (it is important you roll it up this way, so when you make the slices in the finished roulade they are across the grain). Secure the roll with pieces of butchers twine every 2 inches to form a tight, even log. Repeat with the remaining breasts. Sprinkle the outsides with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat oil in a turkey roaster set across two burners on medium-high heat. Add the roulades and brown evenly, 3 to 4 minutes per side. When browned all over, transfer the whole pan of the roulades to the oven and finish cooking. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Transfer to a platter and allow the meat to rest to allow for carry-over cooking and the internal temperature to reach 170 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. To serve, remove the twine and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Drizzle the pan juices over the top.
• Combine the honey and mustard and mix well.

CREAMY CORDON BLEU BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place chicken breasts in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour soups over the chicken. Then spread the ham around and over the soups. Top all with the cheese and cracker crumbs.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 50 minutes, making sure chicken is fully cooked.

CORDON BLEU SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Combine pasta, chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, and broccoli in a large bowl. Set aside. Blend honey, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, onion, olive oil, sugar, and garlic salt in a blender. Stir in parsley. Stir dressing into the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of dressing. Chill salad and reserved dressing in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Stir in the remaining dressing and Parmesan cheese before serving.

ORIGINAL CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

Steps:

• Lay the chicken breasts between pieces of wax paper and use a mallet to pound them to 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch thick. Take care not to pound holes in the chicken. Layer each breast with the ham, then place a finger of cheese in the center. Roll up to completely enclose the ham and cheese and secure with toothpicks.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg and coat with bread crumbs. Place on a baking sheet and chill at least 15 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter. Add the chicken and cook, turning carefully with tongs, until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the stock to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Move the chicken to a warm platter.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of stock to the skillet, raise the heat to high, and cook, stirring up browned bits clinging to the bottom, for 1 minute. Add the wine (or heavy cream or additional stock), lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the consistency of gravy, about 45 seconds. Pour over the chicken breasts and serve.

CHOCOLATE ROULADE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil the base and sides of a 23 x 32cm baking tray and line with baking parchment. Beat the egg whites, lemon juice and a pinch of salt together using a stand mixer or electric whisk until very stiff. Add 1 tbsp of the sugar and beat to stiff peaks, then add the rest of the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until the mixture is thick and shiny. Sift over the cocoa and cornflour, then gently fold these in with a spatula until completely combined. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared tin, then bake for 14-15 mins until just crisp to the touch. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
• Meanwhile, make the fillings. For the chocolate filling, tip the chocolate and cream into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is shiny and smooth. Remove from the heat and leave to cool to room temperature. For the cream filling, whisk the cream and sugar together to stiff peaks using an electric whisk.
• Dust a large sheet of baking parchment with cocoa powder, then carefully flip the meringue onto it. Remove the tin and carefully peel away the parchment. With a short end facing you, score a line across the meringue, 2cm in from the edge. Spread over the chocolate filling followed by the cream, then drizzle with most of the caramel sauce. Sprinkle over the sea salt flakes and drag a palette or cutlery knife through the fillings to gently swirl them. Roll up the roulade into a tight log, starting at the scored end and using the parchment underneath to help you. Lift onto a platter or board. Will keep chilled for up to a day. Drizzle over the remaining caramel sauce, then finely grate over more chocolate to serve.
