Beet Apple And Cheese Pizzettes Recipes

BEET, CHEDDAR, AND APPLE TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pastry rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick all over with a fork. Divide half the cheese among pastry rounds. Top each with 2 to 3 apple slices. Tuck 2 to 3 beet slices among apple slices and top with remaining cheese. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with thyme. Bake until pastry is golden brown and slightly puffed, 13 to 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHEESE PIZZETTES

Steps:

• Mix the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan together in a medium bowl, then set aside. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to 1/4-inch thick. Using a 2 3/4-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut out dough rounds.
• Add enough oil to a heavy large frying pan with 3-inch sides to come halfway up the sides of the pan. Heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Drop a scrap of dough into the oil to ensure the oil is hot enough. If the dough sizzles, then the oil is hot enough. Working in batches, add the dough rounds to the hot oil (being sure not to crowd them in the pan) and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the rounds to paper towels to drain the excess oil. Immediately sprinkle the cheese mixture over the hot pizzas. Serve warm.

APPLE GOAT CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat source.
• Toss together the goat cheese, apple, thyme, oregano, and pepper in a bowl; set aside. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet; toast the bread under the broiler until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle the goat cheese mixture evenly over the bread slices. Return bread to oven to broil until cheese is softened, about 1 minute more.

BEET, APPLE AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD WITH ORANGE SHALLOT DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roast the beets by placing them on a sheet of aluminum foil. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap the foil around the beets and place onto a baking sheet. Bake for 60 minutes or until the beets are tender. Cool.
• Peel the beets and slice into thin strips.
• Cut the apples into thin slices.
• Place the lettuce into a large salad bowl. Toss in the beets and apples.
• Whisk together the shallots, orange juice, red wine vinegar and sugar in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Drizzle the salad dressing over the salad and toss until the leaves are just moistened. Top with crumbled goat cheese and serve.

BEET-AND-APPLE RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place beets on a sheet of parchment-lined foil; drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Fold edges to form a packet. Place on a baking sheet, and roast beets until tender, about 1 hour. Unwrap; let cool slightly, then peel. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Bring onion, vinegar, water, and sugar to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in beets, apples, and mustard.
• Divide among 3 pint-size sterilized glass jars using a slotted spoon, leaving 1/4-inch headspace at tops. Wipe rims and then close with screw bands and lids.
• Submerge jars, covering with water by 2 inches, upright on a wire rack in a large pot of hot water; bring to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes (or longer, depending on altitude). Remove jars from pot using tongs, and transfer to a layer of clean towels to cool. Once cool, check for a slight indentation in lids, which indicates a vacuum seal. Refrigerate all canned products after opening.

ROASTED BEETS WITH APPLES

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together honey, mustard (if using), lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• Toss beets, apple, and onion with honey mixture.
• Place beets in a casserole dish and bake in a preheated 375* oven for 15 minutes.
• Add onion and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
• Add apple and bake for 10-15 minutes longer (depending on how soft they are).
• Enjoy!
