Gruyere And Hazelnut Squares Recipes

GRUYERE AND HAZELNUT SQUARES

Steps:

• Place flours, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add cheese and butter; pulse until blended. Add egg and cream; process until ingredients are moist and well combined but a dough will not form around the blade, 15 to 20 seconds.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap on work surface. Turn dough out onto plastic wrap; press together until it forms a cohesive dough. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Using the plastic wrap to assist you, form each piece of dough into two square 5 1/2-inch-by-1 1/2-inch logs. Rewrap each log separately, twisting ends to flatten. Transfer logs to freezer until chilled, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack set in center. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
• Using a sharp knife with a thin blade, slice dough crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick squares, turning log after each cut to help maintain shape. Transfer squares to prepared baking sheets. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush each square with water and sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
• Transfer baking sheets to oven. Bake until crisp and golden around the edges, about 12 minutes. Transfer crackers to a wire rack to cool.

HAZELNUT BARS

Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake at 350 degrees F until golden, 15 minutes; let cool. Serve with chocolate-hazelnut spread for dipping.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment, and spread hazelnuts in a single layer on top. Toast until golden and aromatic, 8 to 12 minutes. Shake the pan halfway through baking to make sure the nuts toast evenly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Place 1 1/2 cups hazelnuts in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until finely ground; reserve. Roughly chop the remaining 1/2 cup nuts, and set aside.

Use a pizza slicer to cut pastry into 4 rows horizontally and 6 rows vertically so that you have 24 (2 1/2-inch) squares. Press each dough square into each mini muffin cup and prick with the tines of a fork.
• Divide mushroom mixture amongst pastry cups. Top with shredded Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle with thyme.
