Gruyere Cheese Salad Recipes

JIMMY BRADLEY'S SALAD WITH GRUYèRE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes in a shallow foil-lined roasting pan; drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and toss. Bake 40 minutes, until tender and crisped, stirring after 20 minutes. Loosely cover with foil; keep warm in low oven.
• Meanwhile, fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
• Make the roux. Melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes until the mixture is golden. Reserve.
• Combine shallots and wine in a nonreactive saucepan; boil until reduced to 1/3 cup. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the reserved roux and heavy cream, simmer and stir in cheese, a little at a time, until melted and mixture is smooth. Taste; season with pepper. If necessary, thin with more cream. Keep warm.
• Combine remaining oil, the vinegar and mustard in a large bowl. Whisk until blended. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add warm potatoes, bacon, endive and arugula or dandelion greens; toss to coat.
• Ladle fondue into a large bowl and place the salad atop or serve in individual shallow bowls.

GRUYERE AND MUSHROOM PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fusilli pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
• Whisk olive oil, vinegar, dill, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
• Combine cooked pasta, mushrooms, arugula, Gruyere cheese, and onion together in a large bowl. Pour dressing over pasta mixture; toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate pasta salad at least 2 hours before serving.

GRUYERE CHEESE SALAD

• Pour in vinaigrette and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve on spinach leaves.

GRUYERE SOUFFLE WITH FRISEE SALAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 12- to 14-ounce ramekin and sprinkle with Parmesan to lightly coat, tapping out any excess. Refrigerate the prepared ramekin until you're ready to bake the souffle.
• For the Gruyere souffle: Combine the milk, thyme and bay leaf in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once the mixture is just simmering, remove the pan from the heat.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly until the mixture lightens and foams, about 2 minutes (this is your roux). Whisk in the warm milk, bring to a boil and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Remove the herbs, take the pot off the heat and whisk to cool slightly.
• Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the egg yolk, Parmesan, cayenne and a heavy pinch of kosher salt and pepper.
• Slowly whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar in a very clean bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. (Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.) Increase the speed to medium-high and whip until the whites hold a soft peak, about 2 minutes. Quickly but gently fold the whites into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula in 3 additions until just streaky. Scatter the Gruyere over the top and fold the batter together, taking care not to overmix.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekin. Place the ramekin on a baking sheet and bake until golden, puffed and just set in the center, 35 to 40 minutes. Note: Once you place the souffle in the oven, do not open the door! The steady, high heat will allow the souffle to rise. If you open the door it may fall.
• For the frisee salad: Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until well browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Whisk the shallot, vinegar, Dijon and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until smooth and emulsified. Add the frisee, radishes and bacon and toss until well coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper. Serve the souffle immediately after removing from the oven with the salad.

CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• Grate the cheese, or cut into thin matchstick slices.
• Slice the radishes in half.
• In a bowl, combine cheese, radishes, shallot, and chives.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients to form a dressing. Pour over th cheese mixture, and let sit for 30 minutes before serving.

APPLE, CELERY ROOT AND GRUYERE SALAD

• Cut cheese into matchsticks and put in a large bowl.
• Peel celery root and apples and cut into matchsticks.
• Add celery root, apples, and lemon juice to cheese, tossing gently.
• In a small bowl stir together remaining ingredients and add to slaw, tossing gently.
• Slaw may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Add additional horseradish to taste before serving if necessary.

GRUYÈRE GRILLED CHEESE WITH APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Heat 2 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over high heat. When butter begins to foam, add shallots and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula, until shallots begin to soften and caramelize, 4-5 minutes; remove from heat and set aside. Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Working in 2 batches, add 1 Tbsp. butter and swirl in pan to melt butter and coat bottom of pan. Add 2 slices of bread to pan and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 2-3 minutes. Transfer bread, toasted side down, to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining butter and bread slices. Divide cheese evenly among bread slices; top cheese with reserved shallots. Place baking sheet in oven and bake until cheese is melted, 7-8 minutes. Combine arugula, apple slices, lemon juice, and oil in a large bowl; toss to coat and evenly distribute. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. Press 2 pieces of bread together, melted cheese sides in; halve sandwich on a diagonal and place on a plate. Repeat with remaining bread slices. Divide salad between plates.
