Roasted Grape And Sweet Cheese Phyllo Galette Recipes

ROASTED GRAPE AND SWEET CHEESE PHYLLO GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, marmalade and sugar until smooth; set aside., Place 1 sheet of phyllo on a parchment-lined baking sheet; brush with butter. Layer with remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each layer. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Spread cream cheese mixture over phyllo to within 2 in. of edges. Arrange grapes over cream cheese., Fold edges of phyllo over filling, leaving center uncovered. Brush folded phyllo with any remaining butter; drizzle with honey and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until phyllo is golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate leftovers.

SAVORY GALETTE

Steps:

• For the galette: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large saute pan, add the olive oil. Add the sweet potatoes and saute for about 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the Swiss chard stems, garlic and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the Swiss chard leaves and continue to cook until the leaves are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Once cooled, add the walnuts, olives, feta and sun-dried tomatoes to the mixture, then toss until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper.
• Line an 18-by-13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a sheet of phyllo on the baking sheet so the corner of the phyllo sheet is aligned with a corner of the baking sheet. Brush with butter. Place another piece of phyllo overlapping the first sheet, making sure the corner of the phyllo sheet is aligned with another corner of the baking sheet. Repeat with 2 more sheets of phyllo, brushing with butter in between so the entire baking sheet is covered with a layer of phyllo. This is the first layer consisting of 4 sheets of phyllo. Repeat twice more with the remaining 8 sheets of phyllo so you have 3 layers total. Once all the sheets are stacked, spread the filling out into a rectangle, just smaller than a 9-by-13-inch pan. Fold over the dough so it just begins to cover the filling all around the edges. Bake until the crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the sauce: In a small saucepot over medium heat, combine the olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook until the garlic begins to toast and becomes golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the red wine vinegar to stop the garlic from continuing to brown. Reduce by half and add the honey. Bring to a boil, then remove the mixture from the heat and let cool until thickened slightly. Add the walnuts and olives. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
• Serve the galette with the sauce on the side.

ROASTED GRAPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the grapes on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Roast until the grapes burst and get soft, wilted and a little charred, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Serve on peanut butter toast or crostini with cream cheese, or add them to a salad. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

STUFFED SWEET POTATOES WITH ROASTED GRAPES, CHEESE, AND HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; use a fork to poke some holes in each sweet potato, then wrap in aluminum foil.
• Bake until tender, about 45 to 60 minutes; unwrap, slit down the middle of each potato and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, increase heat to 450 degrees F; place grapes on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• Roast until they begin to burst, 20 to 25 minutes; remove and let cool.
• By now the sweet potatoes should be cool enough to handle, so use a spoon to gently remove the flesh while leaving the skins intact; mash potatoes with 3 ounces of goat cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and honey.
• Taste for seasoning, then scoop flesh back into skins (re-heat in oven if desired), top with remaining goat cheese, add grapes, and drizzle with honey.
