  • Baked Broccoli with Mozzarella and Cherry Tomatoes

    Baked Broccoli with Mozzarella and Cherry Tomatoes

    Baked Broccoli with Mozzarella and Cherry Tomatoes

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

    • 3–4 broccoli florets
    • Salt, to taste
    • Provence spices, to taste
    • 200 g (7 oz) cherry tomatoes
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
    • Olive oil, for drizzling
    • 200 g (1 cup) grated mozzarella cheese
    • 6 large slices mozzarella cheese

    Preparation:

    Before we dive into the full preparation, let’s take care of a few crucial steps that will make the dish easier to assemble and ensure perfect results.

    1. Steam the Broccoli: Begin by steaming the broccoli florets until they are tender but still firm. This should take around 5-7 minutes. They should maintain their bright green color and slight crunch.
    2. Prepare the Tomatoes: While the broccoli steams, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a bowl. Add the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, ground black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir well and let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes. This marination enhances the flavor of the tomatoes, infusing them with a savory garlic aroma.

    Step-by-Step Instructions:

    Now, let’s move on to assembling and baking this delicious dish.

    1. Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it’s fully heated by the time your dish is ready to bake.

    2. Prepare the Baking Mold:

    Lightly drizzle olive oil onto a baking dish or mold. Spread it evenly to prevent any sticking while the dish bakes.

    3. Arrange the Broccoli:

    Take your steamed broccoli and arrange it evenly in the prepared baking mold. Season it with a pinch of salt and Provence spices. These aromatic herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, basil, and marjoram) will complement the flavors of the vegetables beautifully.

    4. Add the Marinated Tomatoes:

    Once the broccoli is set, distribute the marinated cherry tomatoes evenly across the dish. Make sure each section of broccoli gets some of the flavorful tomatoes to ensure each bite is a perfect mix of textures and tastes.

    5. Top with Mozzarella Cheese:

    Now, sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese generously over the broccoli and tomatoes. The grated cheese will melt into every nook and cranny of the dish, adding a creamy layer of flavor. For extra indulgence, lay the large slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the grated cheese, ensuring a gooey, golden finish once baked.

    Baking the Delight:

    Place the baking mold in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on the dish, as you want the cheese to melt completely and turn golden brown. The edges should be slightly crispy, and the aroma of baked cheese and garlic should fill the kitchen.

    Once the cheese is golden and bubbly, remove the dish from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors settle and the cheese firm up slightly.

    Serving Suggestions:

    This baked broccoli dish can be served as a hearty side or as a light main course. Pair it with crusty  bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal. The combination of rich mozzarella, sweet tomatoes, and tender broccoli will satisfy both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

  • Cheesy Potato Patties with Sesame Crust

    Cheesy Potato Patties with Sesame Crust

    Cheesy Potato Patties with Sesame Crust

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

      • Boiled potatoes – 400 g (boiled in salted water until done)
      • Cheese – 100-130 g (any type that melts well, like mozzarella, cheddar, or gouda)
      • Ground black pepper – to taste
      • Egg – 1 large
      • All-purpose flour – 3-4 tablespoons (plus extra for rolling out the dough)
      • Sesame seeds – 1 tablespoon
      • Vegetable oil – for frying

    Step-by-Step Instructions:

    1. Boil the Potatoes:

    • Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into even-sized chunks. Boil them in salted water until fully cooked, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
    • Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before mashing. Make sure they are mashed smoothly, without lumps.

    2. Prepare the Cheese:

      • Grate the cheese of your choice and set it aside. You can use mozzarella for a gooey center, cheddar for a sharp flavor, or gouda for a nutty taste.
    • The cheese will be mixed into the potato mixture, adding a rich, cheesy texture.

    3. Make the Potato Dough:

      • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the grated cheese. Add the egg and ground black pepper to taste.
      • Gradually mix in the flour, starting with 3 tablespoons. You may need to add an additional tablespoon if the dough is too sticky.
    • The dough should be soft but firm enough to hold its shape. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour.

    4. Shape the Patties:

      • Lightly flour a work surface and your hands. Divide the potato dough into equal portions, about the size of a golf ball.
      • Flatten each ball slightly into a patty shape, about 1 cm thick. You can make them smaller or larger depending on your preference.
    • Once all the patties are formed, dip each one into the sesame seeds, coating one side of the patty for an added crunch.

    5. Fry the Patties:

      • Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
      • Fry the patties sesame-side down first for about 3-4 minutes, or until the sesame seeds are golden and crispy.
    • Carefully flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until both sides are golden brown and the patties are heated through.
    • You may need to fry the patties in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.

    6. Serve:

      • Once the patties are golden and crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
    • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, garlic aioli, or ketchup. These patties also pair wonderfully with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a light meal.

    Cooking Tips:

      • Cheese Selection: You can use a variety of cheeses depending on your taste preference. Mozzarella provides a soft, gooey center, while cheddar gives a sharper flavor. A mix of cheeses can also add depth to the dish.
      • Shaping the Patties: If the dough is too sticky, dust your hands with flour while shaping the patties. Make sure to keep the patties evenly sized for even cooking.
    • Frying Temperature: Fry the patties on medium heat to ensure they cook through evenly without burning. If the oil is too hot, the outside will brown too quickly while the inside remains undercooked.
    • Alternative Coatings: While sesame seeds add a delicious crunch, you can also experiment with breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes for different textures.

    Storage:

      • Refrigeration: Store leftover potato patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven until heated through.
    • Freezing: These patties freeze well. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and fry or bake until crispy.

    Cream-Filled Nut Bread Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    For the Dough:

    • 450-500 g wheat flour (about 4 cups)
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 13 g fresh yeast (about ½ oz) or 7 g instant yeast (2 teaspoons)
    • 125 ml warm water (about ½ cup)
    • 125 ml warm milk (about ½ cup)
    • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk (for brushing)
    • 5-6 g salt (about ½ teaspoon)
    • 50 g butter (about 1½ oz), softened

    For the Cream Filling:

    • 2 egg yolks
    • 4 tablespoons sugar
    • 10 g vanilla sugar (about ½ teaspoon)
    • 10 g cornstarch (about 1 tablespoon)
    • 250 ml warm milk (about 1 cup)
    • 30 g butter (about 1 oz), softened

    For the Nut Topping:

    • 100 g nuts (about ¾ cup), chopped (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts)

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Prepare the Dough

    Begin by activating the yeast. If using fresh yeast, dissolve it in warm water with the sugar and let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy. If using instant yeast, you can skip this step and simply mix the yeast directly with the flour later on.

    In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour in the yeast mixture, warm milk, one whole egg, and the softened butter. Mix the ingredients together using your hands or a dough hook until a soft dough forms.

    Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If needed, add a little extra flour.

    Once kneaded, place the dough into a greased bowl. Cover it with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for 50-60 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

    2. Prepare the Cream Filling

    While the dough is rising, prepare the custard cream filling. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla sugar, and cornstarch. Slowly add the warm milk while whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue stirring the mixture until it thickens into a custard-like consistency. This process usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until it is fully melted and incorporated into the cream.

    Transfer the cream to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming. Let the cream cool completely in the refrigerator.

    3. Assemble the  Bread

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Divide the dough into small portions, depending on how large you would like your buns or  bread loaves to be. For individual buns, divide the dough into about 8-10 portions.

    Roll each portion of dough into a flat circle, ensuring the dough is thick enough to hold the cream filling. Spoon a generous amount of the cooled cream filling into the center of each dough circle. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the cream for added texture.

    Carefully fold the dough over the filling, shaping it into a bun or braid. Be sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.

    4. Prepare for Baking

    Place the shaped buns on the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg yolk and brush it over the tops of each bun to give them a shiny, golden finish.

    For an extra nutty crunch, sprinkle additional chopped nuts on top of the buns before baking.

    5. Bake the Bread

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. You’ll know it’s done when the tops are beautifully golden, and the bread feels firm to the touch.

    Remove the bread from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool.

    6. Serve

    Once the buns have cooled slightly, they are ready to be enjoyed. The soft, pillowy bread contrasts perfectly with the rich vanilla cream and the crunchy nut topping. These cream-filled nut breads are perfect for serving as a dessert, breakfast treat, or a sweet snack. Pair them with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a delightful experience.

    Raspberry Chocolate Layer Cake Recipe

    Raspberry Chocolate Layer Cake Recipe

    Table of Contents

    For the Chocolate Sponge:

    • 4 eggs
    • 50 g sugar (about ¼ cup)
    • 50 g flour (about ⅓ cup)
    • 30 g cocoa powder (about 3 tablespoons)

    For the Raspberry Filling:

    • Juice of 2 lemons
    • 200 g raspberries (about 1½ cups)
    • 30 g sugar (about 2 tablespoons)
    • 15 g cornstarch (about 1 tablespoon)

    For the Cream Filling:

    • 80 g condensed milk (about ⅓ cup)
    • 100 g ricotta cheese (about ½ cup)
    • 100 ml whipping cream (about ⅓ cup)

    For the Chocolate Ganache:

    • 120 g dark chocolate (about 4.2 oz), chopped
    • 100 ml warm cream (about ⅓ cup)

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Prepare the Chocolate Sponge

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a rectangular or square cake pan with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and has almost doubled in volume. This can take about 5-7 minutes using an electric mixer.

    Sift the flour and cocoa powder together to avoid any lumps, and carefully fold them into the egg mixture using a spatula. Be gentle to avoid knocking out the air from the eggs, which helps the sponge stay light and fluffy.

    Once combined, pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing it horizontally into two even layers.

    2. Prepare the Raspberry Filling

    In a small saucepan, combine the lemon juice, raspberries, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. As the raspberries break down, their tartness will perfectly balance the sweetness of the sugar.

    In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry, then add it to the simmering raspberry mixture. Stir constantly until the filling thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Once thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool completely.

    3. Prepare the Cream Filling

    In a medium bowl, mix the condensed milk with the ricotta cheese until smooth and well blended.

    In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture carefully, creating a light and fluffy cream filling. Set it aside until ready to use.

    4. Assemble the Cake

    Place the first layer of the chocolate sponge cake on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread the cooled raspberry filling evenly across the surface.

    Next, spread a layer of the cream filling over the raspberry layer. The cream adds a rich, smooth texture that complements the tart raspberries.

    Gently place the second layer of the  chocolate sponge on top, pressing down lightly to ensure the layers adhere together.

    5. Prepare the  Chocolate Ganache

    For the ganache, chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.

    In a small saucepan, heat the cream until it’s warm but not boiling. Pour the warm cream over the chocolate and let it sit for about 1 minute. Then, stir the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. The ganache should be glossy and thick enough to coat the cake.

    6. Coat the Cake

    Pour the chocolate ganache over the assembled cake, starting in the center and allowing it to naturally drip down the sides. Use a spatula to smooth out the ganache for an even coating if needed.

    Let the ganache set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing. You can also place the cake in the refrigerator to speed up the process if desired.

    7. Serve

    Slice the cake into individual portions and serve. The combination of the rich, moist chocolate sponge, the tart raspberry filling, and the smooth cream filling, all wrapped in luscious dark chocolate ganache, creates a stunning dessert that’s both visually and flavorfully impressive.

    Homemade Pumpkin Spice Bread Recipe

    Homemade Pumpkin Spice Bread Recipe

     by Noty Cheese

    Homemade Pumpkin Spice Bread Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 3 teaspoons pumpkin  pie spice (or substitute with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon nutmeg)
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter, softened
    • 3 large eggs
    • 2 cups granulated sugar
    • 1 can (15–16 ounces) 100% pumpkin puree (make sure it’s not pumpkin pie filling)

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Loaf Pan

    Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. A well-prepared pan will ensure that your bread doesn’t stick and comes out cleanly when baked.

    Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set this mixture aside. These dry ingredients are key to ensuring the perfect rise and spiced flavor throughout the bread.

    Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer or by hand. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2–3 minutes. This step helps incorporate air, giving your bread a tender crumb.

    Step 4: Add the Eggs

    Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure everything is fully combined. The eggs contribute moisture and structure, helping the bread rise and stay soft.

    Step 5: Mix in the Pumpkin Puree

    Once the eggs are fully incorporated, mix in the pumpkin puree until smooth and evenly distributed. The pumpkin not only gives the bread its characteristic flavor but also adds moisture, keeping the bread tender for days.

    Step 6: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet pumpkin mixture, stirring just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a denser, tougher bread. Stirring just enough to moisten the flour will give you a light, tender loaf.

    Step 7: Bake the Pumpkin Spice Bread

    Pour the prepared batter into your greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the bread begins to brown too quickly, you can tent the loaf loosely with foil for the remaining baking time to prevent burning.

    Step 8: Cool and Serve

    Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. This resting period allows the  bread to firm up slightly, making it easier to remove from the pan. After 10 minutes, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

    Serving Suggestions

    Slice the pumpkin spice bread and serve it warm with a smear of butter, or enjoy it as is! This bread pairs beautifully with your morning coffee or tea, and it also makes a great addition to any holiday spread. For an extra treat, try serving it with cream cheese or honey.

    Tips for Perfect Pumpkin Spice Bread

    • Avoid overmixing: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until the flour is incorporated to avoid a dense texture.
    • Pumpkin puree only: Be sure to use 100% pumpkin puree and not pumpkin  pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices that will alter the flavor of your bread.
    • Customize the spice blend: If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can mix 1 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg for a homemade version.

  • Amazingly Good Cheese Bread in a Mug Recipe

    Amazingly Good Cheese Bread in a Mug Recipe

    Amazingly Good Cheese Bread in a Mug Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 package baking powder (about 10 g or 2 teaspoons)
    • 2 cups flour
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 cup grated cheese (Gouda or any cheese of your choice)
    • 50 g diced beef, cooked or raw
    • Optional: butter or oil for greasing the mug

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Prepare Your Mug

    Lightly grease a large microwave-safe mug or a small coffee pot with a bit of butter or oil. This step ensures that the bread doesn’t stick and makes for easy removal later.

    2. Mix the Ingredients

    In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Next, add the milk, grated cheese, and diced beef to the dry mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined into a dough-like consistency. The cheese and beef will give the bread a flavorful, savory kick.

    3. Fill the Mug

    Once the dough is ready, carefully pour the mixture into the prepared mug or coffee pot, filling it about halfway to allow room for the bread to rise as it cooks.

    4. Microwave the Bread

    Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the microwave’s power, so check the bread after 2.5 minutes. The bread is ready when it has risen and the top feels firm to the touch.

    5. Serve

    Once cooked, let the bread cool slightly before digging in. You can enjoy the cheesy bread straight from the mug, or if you prefer, gently loosen the edges with a knife and remove it from the mug to serve on a plate.

    Optional Oven Version

    For a more traditional loaf-style cheese bread, follow the same steps, but instead of microwaving, pour the batter into a lightly greased loaf tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
