Three Cheese Waffle Sticks Recipes

THREE CHEESE WAFFLE STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle-stick maker or regular waffle maker.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, and butter.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper.
• Using a stand mixer fitter with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on med-high speed until firm peaks form, 5-6 minutes.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture, stirring until just combined.
• Gently fold in the egg whites, then fold in the three cheeses.
• Ladle the batter into the waffle maker, using ½-3/4 cup batter per batch if using a waffle maker.
• Spread the batter so that it almost reaches the edges of the waffle maker.
• Cook until the waffles are crisp and browned, 3-4 minutes (if using a waffle-stick maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions).
• Using a spatula, remove the waffles from the waffle maker.
• Cut whole waffles into quarters, then slice into sticks about 1 inch wide.
• Serve right away, or place the waffle sticks on a baking sheet in a single layer in a 200 degree oven for up to 20 minutes before serving.
• Serve with hot tomato soup, for dipping.

FLANK STEAK WITH HERB SAUCE AND THREE CHEESE WAFFLE HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• For the herb sauce: Whisk together the herbs, olive oil, vinegar, serrano, garlic, shallot, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the three cheese waffle hash browns: Preheat a waffle iron to medium.
• Toss the shredded potatoes in a bowl with the melted butter, the three cheeses and the salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
• Spray the top and bottom of the waffle iron well with cooking spray. Put a mounded cup of the potato mixture (about 1 1/4 cups worth) in each well and gently pat down. (They will start to sizzle.)
• Close the waffle iron and cook until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy; time will vary based on your waffle iron, but it will take roughly 12 minutes. (Check on them occasionally to make sure they aren't burning.) Use a butter knife or fish spatula to gently and very carefully remove the hash browns. They are very fragile when they are hot and just out of the iron.
• For the flank steak: Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Pat the steak dry and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for about 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Set on a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Divide the hash browns and steak among 4 plates and drizzle the steak with the herb sauce.
