Whether you’re cooking for a special occasion or just want to try something new, this lasagna is a delightful choice that will leave everyone asking for seconds.

    Here’s how to make Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna.

    INGREDIENTS:

    • For the Chicken Cordon Bleu Layers:
      • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
      • 1 cup cooked ham, diced
      • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
      • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • For the Sauce:
      • 4 tablespoons butter
      • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
      • 2 cups milk
      • 1 cup heavy cream
      • 1/2 cup chicken broth
      • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
      • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    • For the Lasagna:
      • 9 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
      • 1 cup breadcrumbs
      • 2 tablespoons melted butter
      • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Optional Garnish:
      • Fresh parsley, chopped

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. Prepare the Sauce:
      • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
      • Gradually add the milk, heavy cream, and chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
      • Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
    2. Assemble the Lasagna:
      • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
      • In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom to prevent sticking.
      • Place three lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
      • Layer with one-third of the shredded chicken, one-third of the diced ham, and one-third of the shredded Swiss cheese. Pour about one-quarter of the sauce over the layers.
      • Repeat the layers two more times (noodles, chicken, ham, cheese, sauce).
      • Top with the final three noodles and pour the remaining sauce over the top layer.
    3. Prepare the Breadcrumb Topping:
      • In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
      • Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the lasagna.
    4. Bake:
      • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
      • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
    5. Serve:
      • Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to serve.
      • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

    Tips for Success

    • Cook the Noodles Al Dente: This prevents them from becoming too soft during baking.
    • Shred Your Own Cheese: Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that prevent it from melting smoothly. For the best texture and flavor, shred your own Swiss cheese.
    • Use Leftover Chicken: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken from a previous meal. Rotisserie chicken works particularly well.

    Baked Apple Oatmeal with Cinnamon and Nuts

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

      • 100 g (1 cup) oat flakes

     

      • 150 ml (2/3 cup) warm milk (dairy or plant-based)
      • 2 eggs
      • 1 tsp vanilla extract

     

      • 2 medium apples, peeled and grated
      • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
      • 1/2 tsp baking powder

     

      • 30 g (1/3 cup) chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
      • Avocado oil, for greasing
      • Optional toppings: honey, maple syrup, yogurt, or fresh fruit

     

    Steps How to Do It

      1. Preheat the Oven
        Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F). Lightly grease a 19 cm (7.5-inch) round baking dish with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
      2. Soak the Oats
        In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oat flakes with warm milk. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
      3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients
        In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

     

      1. Mix in Apples and Spices
        Peel and grate the apples. Fold them into the soaked oats. Sprinkle in the cinnamon and baking powder, and mix to combine. These ingredients will enhance the flavor and ensure a light, fluffy texture.
      2. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
        Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the oat and apple mixture. Stir until everything is well incorporated. Add the chopped nuts, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
      3. Assemble and Bake
        Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top and sprinkle the reserved nuts for an extra crunch. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

In this article, we’re diving into the world of breadmaking, uncovering a recipe that’s not only delicious but also incredibly easy to whip up. Get ready to embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds singing with joy!

    Gathering Ingredients

    Let’s start by rounding up our key players. You’ll need:

    • 3.4 fluid ounces (about 100 ml) warm water
    • 3.4 fluid ounces (about 100 ml) warm milk
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 8 grams dry yeast
    • 2 medium eggs
    • 17.6 ounces (about 500 grams) of wheat flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 20 ml vegetable oil
    • For a golden brown crust: 1 egg + milk
    Mixing the Magic

    Now that we have our ingredients, it’s time to work some magic. In a bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Give it a good mix and let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy.

    Kneading to Perfection

    Once your yeast mixture is ready, add in the eggs, wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Using a spatula, begin kneading the dough until it starts to come together. Gradually add more flour until you have a smooth, elastic dough.

    Letting it Rise

    Grease a bowl with some vegetable oil, then place your dough inside, covering it with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 50 minutes, or until it doubles in size. This is where the magic happens as the yeast works its wonders!

    Shaping and Resting

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into four equal parts. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for another 20 minutes, allowing the gluten to relax.

    Preparing for Baking

    Roll out each ball of dough into a flat circle using a rolling pin. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each one. Now, it’s time to get creative!

    Adding the Final Touches

    Using a sushi stick or any other thin tool, make small holes in the dough. Fill each hole with a bit of butter for an extra burst of flavor. In a separate bowl, beat together an egg and a splash of milk, then brush this mixture over the dough. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for that perfect finishing touch.

    Baking to Perfection

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and pop your bread into the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is beautifully golden brown and crisp. Your kitchen will be filled with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread!

  • No-Bake Brownies

    No-Bake Brownies

    Craving a warm, fudgy brownie but don’t want to preheat the whole oven? Look no further than the magic of your air fryer! Air Fryer Brownies are a tasty twist on the classic dessert, offering the same rich chocolatey goodness. These brownies are perfect for a quick after-dinner treat, a satisfying midday snack, or for your lunchbox. It’s so quick to make. In just minutes, you can whip up a batch using just a few pantry staples, including cocoa powder, flour, butter, and eggs. The air fryer’s rapid circulation of hot air cooks the brownies evenly, resulting in a decadent center and a yummy textural contrast. Unlike traditional brownies, there’s no need to preheat your oven, making this recipe ideal for those times when you just need a chocolate fix – fast!

    What are Air Fryer Brownies?
    While the classic brownie has a rich history dating back to the late 19th century, Air Fryer Brownies are an innovation of the 21st century. Unlike their oven-baked counterparts, these brownies make use of the power of the air fryer to achieve a similar deliciousness in a fraction of the time.

    Air Fryer Brownies are special for a few reasons. Air fryers use rapid air circulation to cook food quickly and evenly. This translates to perfectly fudgy brownies in a fraction of the time it takes a traditional oven. The concentrated heat of the air fryer also creates a crispy outer shell on your brownies, adding a textural contrast to the gooey center. Air fryers heat up much faster than ovens, making them ideal for satisfying sudden brownie cravings.

    Tips
    Since air fryers come in various sizes, use a pan that fits comfortably inside without crowding the brownies. A 7-inch round or square pan is a good starting point for most air fryers.
    Silicone pans are great for air fryer brownies as they distribute heat evenly and make removing the brownies easier. However, they may require slightly longer cooking times compared to metal pans.
    Air fryers are smaller than ovens, so halve a traditional brownie recipe to ensure even cooking.
    Just like with regular brownies, overmixing the batter incorporates too much air, leading to a cakey texture. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
    Air fryers often don’t require preheating; however, preheating for a few minutes can help ensure even cooking, especially for thicker batters.
    Air fryers cook food quickly, so be sure to keep an eye on the brownies during the last few minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, not raw batter.
    Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter swirls, or even sprinkles can add fun flavor and texture variations to your brownies.
    Can I Use A Regular Brownie Recipe In My Air Fryer?
    While it’s possible, it’s generally recommended to halve a recipe to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket and ensure even cooking.

    What are The Best Chocolate Chips and Cocoa to Use For This Recipe?
    For the best results use high-quality chocolate chips with a cocoa content of at least 60% for a rich flavor. Brands like Ghirardelli, Callebaut, or Guittard are excellent choices. For cocoa powder, opt for unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa, such as Valrhona or Droste, to ensure a deep, smooth chocolate flavor.

    Can I Substitute Butter With Oil?
    Yes, you can! Use 1:1 substitution, so replace the 115g (½ cup) of butter with 115g (½ cup) of oil. This may slightly alter the texture and flavor, making the brownies a bit more moist and less rich.

    Do I Need To Preheat My Air Fryer For Brownies?
    Not always! Many air fryer brownie recipes work fine without preheating. However, preheating for a few minutes can be helpful for thicker batters or if you want a crispier outer edge.

    How Long Do I Cook Air Fryer Brownies?
    Cooking times can vary depending on the size and thickness of your brownies, as well as the specific air fryer model. Most recipes range from 15-20 minutes at 180°C (356°F). Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid overcooking.

    I Don’t Have A Square Pan. Can I Use Something Else?
    Sure! Any small oven-safe baking dish that fits comfortably in your air fryer will work. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time slightly if the pan size is significantly different.

    Will Air Fryer Brownies Be As Fudgy As Oven-Baked Brownies?
    They can be! The key is to not overmix the batter and to use melted chocolate or a combination of melted chocolate and cocoa powder.

    Can I Add Mix-Ins To My Air Fryer Brownies?
    Absolutely! Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter swirls, or even sprinkles can add delicious variations to your brownies.

    Can I Reheat These Brownies in The Air Fryer?
    Yes! To reheat, set the air fryer to 160°C (320°F) and heat the brownies for 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through. Be sure to check them frequently to avoid overcooking.

    How To Make Air Fryer Brownies

    Step 1
    In a bowl, combine your chocolate chips and butter. Melt them in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, until they become smooth.

    Step 2
    Sift in your cocoa powder and stir to create a rich, chocolatey base for the brownies.

    Step 3
    In a separate bowl, add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk them together until light and fluffy.

    Step 4
    Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the fluffy egg mixture and gently fold it in with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.

    Step 5
    Gradually add the flour to the batter, along with a pinch of salt. Gently fold it in until just combined.

    Step 6
    Pour your brownie batter into a greased square baking tray suitable for your air fryer.

    Step 7
    Preheat your air fryer (if needed) and bake the brownies at 180°C (356°F) for 20 minutes.

    Step 8
    Take the brownies out and let them cool completely in the tray. This allows them to set and become perfectly fudgy.

    Step 9
    Once cool, use a knife to cut the brownies into squares – perfect for sharing (or not sharing, we won’t judge!)
