Inside Outs Recipes

INSIDE OUT BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
• Place the bacon in a large saute pan and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the pan. Add the mushrooms and cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Set the mushrooms aside to cool in a bowl.
• In a large bowl, combine the beef, shallot, black pepper, salt, and Worcestershire. Separate the mixture into 4 equal portions. Divide each portion into 2 separate patties.
• Combine the cheese into the cooled mushrooms and bacon mixture. Take 1 patty and top with 2-ounces of the filling. Place another patty on top and pinch around the edges to make sure that the filling is totally covered. Make the rest of the patties the same way.
• Over medium-high heat, heat a large skillet with grapeseed oil. Once hot, add the burgers and cook for 2 minutes per side. Place the pan into the oven and cook for 4 to 6 more minutes for medium burgers.
• Remove from the oven and serve on a sesame seed bun.

INSIDE-OUT GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Place bread slices in the skillet on top of the melted butter.
• Spread about 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese on one slice of bread; place the other slice of bread, butter-side up, on top of the cheese. Spread about 2 tablespoons of cheese on top of the sandwich.
• Melt remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter in the skillet next to the sandwich. Flip the sandwich onto the melted butter so that the cheese-side is facing down. Spread remaining cheese on top of the sandwich. Cook sandwich until cheese on the bottom is crispy and caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip sandwich and cook until cheese is crispy and caramelized on the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes.

INSIDE OUTS

Steps:

• COOKIES:
• Set racks in uper & lower thirds of oven & preheat to 325°F
• Cream butter & sugar on medium speed for 5 - 10 minutes until light, soft & fluffy.
• Fold in flour by hand.
• Place a handful of dough at a time on a lightly floured work surface. Use the floured palm of your hand to press out the dough until it is 1/2" thick - don't make the dough too thin. If the dough seems to be sticking, run a long, thin spatula underneath to loosen it. Do NOT use a lot of extra flour or your cookies will be dry & tough!
• Cut out the shortbreads with a 2" - 4" round cookie cutter, that has been dipped in flour. With a spatula or pancake turner, transfer cookies to a parchment lined cookie sheet. Space about 1 1/2" apart. Continue until all the dough has been used.
• Bake 15 - 20 minutes until they are just a very pale golden color. Slide parchment onto cooling racks. When cool, remove cookies to an airtight container.
• FILLING:.
