Aunt Elaine's Swiss Cheese & Olive Delights image

This appetizer recipe came from my Aunt Elaine who lives in Newport Beach, California and I've been making it for years. These cheesy bite size munchies have been a home run for my family and is always a requested appetizer for any of our special events including Football season. Thank you Aunt Elaine for this wonderful slam...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pkg english muffins, halved
1 pkg swiss cheese, grated
1/2 c mayonnaise
1 can(s) black olives, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
(you can add crushed garlic and chopped green onion if you like)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut each of the english muffins in half. Place each half on a cookie sheet and broil until brown, set aside
  • 2. Add the rest of the ingredients. use enough mayonnaise to hold cheese mixture together.
  • 3. Spread generous amount on each half and broil again until brown. Cool.
  • 4. Once cooled, cut each round in quarters. I find the best way to cut is to use a pizza cutter and roll across to quarter. It seems to be less messy than using a knife.
  • 5. Serve on a platter. So Yummy!

Rich cheese dough surrounds a savory olive. A great pick-up appetizer or snack. You can freeze the unbaked, dough-wrapped-olives and then bake them right out of the freezer, extending the baking time by a few minutes.

ELAINE'S FETTUCCINE ALFREDO



Elaine's Fettuccine Alfredo image

This recipe came to The Times in a 2004 article about Elaine Kaufman, the founder and proprietress of the famed New York restaurant and celebrity hot spot that bore her name and where this dish was served. There is nothing fancy or complicated about it - it's glorified macaroni and cheese, really - but it is delicious and deeply satisfying. (Fun fact: Jackie O was a fan.)

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
1 pound fresh fettuccine
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring 6 quarts generously salted water to a boil.
  • While the water heats, melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; saute until fragrant and sizzling, about 2 minutes. Whisk the cream with the egg yolk in a bowl until blended; pour into the garlic butter. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir until hot but not boiling. Keep warm over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta, partially covered, until al dente. (The pasta will float when it's done.) Drain in a colander, shaking out excess water, but reserve a little cooking water. Pour hot pasta into the cream mixture and toss to coat (still over low heat). Add the cheese and keep tossing gently until cream is mostly absorbed. Season with salt and pepper. If sauce is absorbed too much, toss with a little pasta water. Serve in warm bowls.

HOT CHEESE OLIVES



Hot Cheese Olives image

This is classic 1950s cocktail fare that, unlike the savory gelées and boiled ham canapés that are best forgotten, we still want to eat today. Just wrap cocktail olives in a simple Cheddar dough and bake until golden. Martini optional.

Categories     finger foods, appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 50 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces (2 cups) grated extra-sharp Cheddar
1 1/2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg
50 small pimento-stuffed cocktail olives, drained and patted dry

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat the butter until creamy in a large mixing bowl, add the cheese and mix well. Stir in the flour, salt, cayenne and the Worcestershire and mix until smooth. Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons cold water. Add to the dough and mix just until incorporated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the dough and flatten out a piece about the size of a walnut into a thin round. Place an olive on top and shape it around the olive, pinching to repair any breaks. Place it on an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and olives. Bake until the dough sets, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.
