Santa Fe Brownies Recipes

SANTA FE BURGER

Steps:

• Burgers:;
• Queso sauce:;
• 1.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
• 2.Put the chile on a rimmed baking sheet, rub with 1 tablespoon of the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until the skin of the chile is blackened, about 15 minutes. Remove the chile from the oven, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let the chile steam for 15 minutes. Peel, stem, and seed the chile and then finely dice it.
• 3.To make the queso sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk, increase the heat to high, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the cheese and whisk until melted. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• 4.Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
• Heat a gas grill to high. Brush the burgers with remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil and grill until desired doneness is reached.
• 5.Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and top each with a few tablespoons of queso sauce, some of the poblano, and the chips. Cover with the bun tops and serve immediately.

TEAM SPIRIT FROSTED BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 9-inch square pan with foil, allowing some to hang over edges of pan. Spray bottom and sides of foil with cooking spray.
• Make and bake brownies as directed on box. Cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove brownies from pan using foil edges as handles; carefully remove and discard foil. Transfer brownies to serving platter or cutting board. Tint 1 cup of the frosting with food color, or leave white, as desired to match school color. Spread frosting over top. Tint remaining 1/4 cup frosting to match another school color, or leave white if appropriate. Place in small decorating bag fitted with plain tip, and decorate by piping team name, cheers or logos on top, as desired. Decorate brownies as desired with school-color appropriate candy sprinkles, nonpareils and decorating sugars. Let stand about 30 minutes or until frosting is set.
• Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store loosely covered in single layer.

SANTA FE CHOCOLATE WAFERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Sift together dry ingredients and set aside.
• Cut butter into ½-inch slices, and add to medium saucepan over low heat.
• Add the chocolate, sugar, and corn syrup, stirring until smooth.
• Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes; add vanilla extract and egg, stirring until smooth.
• Gently add in flour mixture, until once again smooth.
• You can go ahead and bake them off right here, but I prefer to refrigerate the mixture for 20 or so minutes; the cookies will hold their shapes better.
• Drop a rounded teaspoonful of batter onto a silpat or parchment paper-covered baking sheet, pressing down slightly to flatten.
• The cookies puff up as they bake, and will be finished when they have flattened, about 10-15 minutes.
• I like to under bake these just a bit, but be careful about over baking--the chocolate will taste burnt.
• Let the cookies sit for a minute on the sheets before removing to a cooling tray.
• Store airtight.

FRENCH TOAST SANTA FE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cut off and discard crusts from bread, then diagonally halve slices. Arrange in 1 layer in a baking pan.
• Whisk together cream, eggs, and salt, then pour over bread. Soak bread, turning once, until most of liquid is absorbed but bread is not falling apart, about 2 minutes.
• Carefully transfer soaked bread with a slotted spatula to a tray.
• Heat 1/2 inch oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until thermometer registers 325°F.
• Fry bread, 3 pieces at a time, turning over once, until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. (Return oil to 325°F between batches.) Transfer toast to paper towels to drain briefly, then arrange in 1 layer on a baking sheet.
• Once all bread is fried, bake toast in middle of oven until puffed, about 4 minutes. Serve dusted with confectioners sugar.

SANTA FE BROWNIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Adjust a rack 1/3 up from the bottom of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9 x 13 pan: Turn pan upside down. Center an 18 inch length of foil, shiny side dow, over the pan. Press down on the sides and corners to shape the foil to fit the pan. Run water into the pan, pour it out, and place the foil in the pan and press into place. Spread melted butter all over the bottom and sides of the foil. Set aside. For the chocolate mixture: sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Place the chocolates and butter in a double boiler on moderate heat, stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside. In mixer, beat eggs just to mix. Add the sugars and the vanilla and beat only until mixed. On low speed, beat in the melted chocolate mixture and the sifted dry ingredients only until incorporated. Set aside 2 1/4 cups of mixture. Add 2/3 cups of nuts to remaining mixture. Spread chocolate/nut mixture in the prepared pan. For the cream cheese mixture: In small bowl beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in vanilla and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time and beat only until smooth. Pour cheese mixture in a wide ribbon over the chocolate mixture in the pan. Spread to the edges of the pan. Stir remaining chocolate mixture well to soften it a bit and then pour in a wide ribbon over the cheese layer. Cut through the top chocolate layer in a zig zag pattern to marbleize slightly. Sprinkle remaining nuts over the top. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until cake tests done (toothpick comes out clean). Halfway through cooking, turn the pan front to back for even cooking. Cool in pan, then remove by placing cutting board over pan and flipping the brownies. Chill overnight or at least a few hours.
