Taleggio And Roasted Mushroom Dip Recipes

MUSHROOM-TALEGGIO TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Position racks in the middle and upper third of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes and dry well. Bake directly on the middle oven rack until easily pierced with a knife, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium; add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the sage and chicken broth. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and cook until most of the liquid evaporates, about 2 more minutes; set aside.
• One at a time, hold each potato with a kitchen towel and halve lengthwise. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Mash the flesh with the butter, taleggio and parsley until just combined. Stir in the mascarpone, then the mushroom mixture. Brush the potato skins with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season the insides with salt and pepper. Set on a baking sheet.
• Mound the filling into the potato skins and sprinkle with the parmesan. Return to the oven on the top rack; bake until the filling starts browning and the skins are crisp, 18 to 20 minutes. Season with salt.

TALEGGIO-AND-ROASTED-MUSHROOM DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss mushrooms with olive oil and salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing once, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to a 6-inch ovenproof skillet. Top with Taleggio. Bake until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Top with fresh thyme. Serve with crostini.

TALEGGIO AND MUSHROOM TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine flour and salt in food processor. Pulse to combine. Dice butter, and add. Pulse until pebbly. Open lid, and sprinkle with egg yolk mixture. Pulse 10 or 12 times. If dough does not come together, sprinkle on a little more ice water and pulse again. Do not overwork.
• Gather dough in a ball, flatten and roll out on floured board. Fit into an 8-or 9-inch tart pan. Prick bottom, line with parchment paper or foil, cover with pastry weights or dry beans and bake 10 minutes. Remove paper and weights. Bake about 10 minutes more, until pastry starts to color. Remove from oven. Reduce heat to 375 degrees.
• While pastry bakes, heat oil in a 10-inch skillet. Add half the cumin seeds. When they pop, add mushrooms and shallots, and saute, stirring, until mushrooms start to brown. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread pastry with creme fraiche. Cover with mushrooms, and top with cheese slices. Scatter with remaining cumin. Bake in oven about 20 minutes, until cheese melts. Serve.

TRUFFLED TALEGGIO OR FONTINA AND MUSHROOM PIZZA

Steps:

• Put a large heavy baking sheet (17 by 14 inches) on lowest rack of oven, then preheat oven to 500°F
• Stretch out dough on a lightly floured surface, pulling on corners to form a roughly 16- by 13-inch rectangle (Thin crust is the key.). Transfer to a tray lined with parchment paper. Lightly prick dough all over with a fork.
• Slide dough (still on parchment) onto hot baking sheet. Bake until top is puffed and pale golden in patches, 6 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven; prick any large bubbles with a fork and flatten. Scatter mushrooms evenly over crust, then season with salt and pepper and lay cheese on top.
• Bake pizza until edge of crust is deep golden and cheese is bubbling and golden in patches, 8 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with truffle oil and season with pepper. Serve immediately.
