Brandade On Poppy Seed Crackers Recipes

POPPY SEED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the diced chicken breasts on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl combine the soup, sour cream and sherry. Pour or spoon mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top.
• Mix the poppy seeds and crushed crackers and sprinkle mixture over the chicken, salt and pepper. Drizzle the melted butter or margarine over the cracker/poppyseed layer and bake covered in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes (take cover off for the last 5 minutes). Let stand a few minutes before servings.

POPPY SEED CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl add flours, poppy seeds and cheese together-whisk.
• Whisk together oil and soy sauce and add to the flour mixture along with enough ice water to form a dough ball.
• Wrap and chill for around 30 minutes.
• On an oiled cookie sheet roll out dough to 0.125 inch thick and with a sharp knife cut into 2 inch squares.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes in a 325 degree oven.

POPPY SEED CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir together egg, water, and salt. Brush each tortilla on 1 side with egg wash, then, holding over a bowl, sprinkle with poppy seeds to cover completely.
• Cut out 7 or 8 stars from each coated tortilla (you'll have to press hard; use a pot holder to protect your hands), transferring to 2 baking sheets, seeded sides up. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, in middle of oven until crisp, about 15 minutes. Cool crackers on a rack.

BRANDADE ON POPPY SEED CRACKERS

Steps:

• Rinse cod well to remove external salt. Cover with cold water by 2 inches in a bowl and soak, chilled, changing water 3 times, about 24 hours.
• Peel potato and cut into 1-inch pieces. Put in a 2-quart saucepan with salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and simmer potato until very tender, about 15 minutes. (Do not drain until ready to whip.)
• While potato is cooking, bring cream to a simmer with garlic, bay leaf, thyme, and clove in a very small heavy saucepan, then simmer gently, partially covered, until garlic is tender, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf, thyme, and clove and purée garlic with cream in a blender until smooth.
• Meanwhile, drain cod and transfer to another 2-quart saucepan with water to cover. Bring just to a simmer and remove from heat. (Cod will just flake; do not boil or it will become tough.)
• Drain cod and potatoes in a colander and, while still warm, combine in a large bowl with cream mixture. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed until combined well. Add oil in a slow stream, beating, and season with salt and white pepper. Top crackers with warm brandade just before serving.

POPPY SEED CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. Drain the water, then shred the chicken.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine the butter, crackers, and poppy seeds in a bowl; set aside.
• Blend the sour cream and cream of chicken soup in a bowl; pour half of the soup mixture into a 9x9-inch baking dish. Add the shredded chicken, then pour the remaining half of the soup mixture on top. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, then top with the cracker mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.

POPPY AND SESAME SEED CRACKERS

Steps:

• Prepare the dough: Preheat oven to 350°F
• Pulse together flour, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
• Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Transfer the flour mixture to a large bowl and add the yogurt, 1/2 cup of the sesame seeds and all of the poppy seeds.
• Stir just until the ingredients are incorporated.
• Divide the dough into quarters, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 10 minutes.
• Bake the crackers: Lightly coat a baking sheet with vegetable oil and set aside.
• Lightly beat the eggs and sugar together in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves and set aside.
• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 10- by 16-inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
• Brush the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle evenly with the remaining sesame seeds.
• Cut into 2- by 5-inch rectangles and bake on the prepared baking sheet until browned -- about 25 minutes.
• Transfer crackers to a wire rack to cool completely and store in an airtight container until ready to serve (up to 1 week).
