Flaming Broiled Provolone with Parsley Toast image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
5-6 (inch thick) slices sourdough bread, halved lengthwise and toasted (or grilled)
8 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped, stems and all
1 pound Provolone cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 ounces neutral gin (like Bombay Sapphire)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Make the toasts: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil and garlic with a pinch of salt. Spread on top of the toasts and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the tray in the oven and cook until the toast is browned, 5-8 minutes. Remove from the oven, arrange on a platter and top with the parsley.
  • Broil and serve: Arrange the cheese in single layer in a 9-inch baking dish and place in the oven to melt, 5-8 minutes. Turn on the broiler and place the dish under the broiler 2 minutes more. Remove, sprinkle with salt and place on the table next to the toasts. Pour the gin over the cheese and carefully light it until it flames. Watch the flame burn until it runs out and dig in!

CHEESE ON TOAST

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 16 toasts

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 5 sprigs fresh thyme, washed, dried and stemmed
1 loaf Italian bread, cut into 16 (1-inch) thick rounds on the bias
Kosher salt
16 ounces fresh, tangy goat cheese, preferably in log form, cut into 16 slices
Sea salt

Steps:

  • The thing I like most about a recipe like this is that you have a chance to showcase your favorite type of cheese in a way that's hard for people to resist. I like goat cheese for the "tang" factor and the supple texture. This goes great with a bowl of my chicken soup but can really fit in with any soup for the "comfort" factor.
  • Heat a large skillet, over medium heat, and add the olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, shut off the heat and add the thyme leaves. The thyme should make a crackling sound as it hits the oil, cooking it slightly and mellowing the flavor. Add the bread in a single layer. Turn the heat back on and cook over medium heat until the first side browns, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Use a pair of tongs to turn the toasts on their second side and season with kosher salt. Top each round with a slice of cheese and continue cooking them over very low heat or off the heat, for 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust the seasonings with sea salt, to taste. Serve alongside soup, if desired.

Broiled Goat Cheese Toasts With Marinated Greens image

This is a simple appetizer that's a hit every time I serve it, due in large part to the vast appeal of warm cheesy things.

Provided by Lukas Volger

Categories     HarperCollins     Appetizer     Hors D'Oeuvre     Lunch     Vegetarian     Goat Cheese     Broil     Kale     Spinach     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield 12 toasts

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the marinated greens:
2 bunches (about 1 ½ pounds) leafy greens: Swiss chard, kale, mature spinach, beet greens, or a combination of any of the above, washed
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
Salt
Fresh lemon juice
For the toasts:
12 slices of baguette about ¾ inch thick, or other bread cut into 10 bite-size pieces
Olive oil
½ cup soft goat cheese
1 cup Marinated Greens, at room temperature
Zest of 1 lemon
Flaky salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Marinated greens:
  • Trim off and discard the tough stems from the greens. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a wide skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and stir for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Pile in the greens, in batches if necessary, and add a splash of water (you can also cover with a lid to compress them). Add a big pinch of salt and gently cook, stirring with tongs, until wilted and tender. Cooking times will vary depending on type of green, so watch and taste as you go. If cooking a combination of different greens, cook each type separately. Add a splash of water to the pan if it dries out.
  • Transfer to a colander to drain and cool until safe to handle. Gently squeeze out excess liquid using your hands or a spatula or wooden spoon, pressing against the side of the colander. Coarsely chop the greens, then transfer them to a medium bowl and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice. Taste and add more lemon juice, red pepper flakes, or salt as needed. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator; allow to come to room temperature before serving.
  • Toasts:
  • Preheat the broiler to high.
  • Arrange the toasts on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Transfer to the broiler and broil for 2 to 4 minutes, until lightly golden on the top. Flip the toasts. Smear each slice with about 2 teaspoons goat cheese, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and return to the broiler. Broil, watching carefully, for just a minute or two, to heat through and lightly brown. Transfer to a serving platter and divide the greens on top. Zest the lemon over everything, sprinkle with a bit of flaky salt and black pepper, add a drizzle of olive oil, and serve while the toasts are still warm.

BROILED CHEESE TOAST



Broiled Cheese Toast image

Growing up, it seemed my parents would be quite creative when preparing weekend breakfast. We always had plenty on the table, even when we had to scrimp to make ends meet. When we did not have a loaf of bread, my mom would use leftover hamburger or hot dog rolls, or whatever she was able to find which would toast under the broiler. Along with our favorite weekend broiled cinnamon toast, we often would have this along with our bacon, eggs and grits. Broiled Cheese toast is a favorite childhood memory for me. I hope your family will enjoy it too!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: Semi-hard and hard cheeses with a high melting point, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan, are best for broiling. Avoid soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert, as they will melt too quickly and become runny.
  • Slice the cheese evenly: This will help it melt evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Use a broiler-safe baking dish: A cast iron skillet or a baking dish made of ceramic or glass is ideal.
  • Preheat the broiler: This will help the cheese melt quickly and evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the cheese: Broiling can happen quickly, so keep an eye on the cheese to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Broiled cheese is best served immediately, while it's still melty and bubbly.

Broiled and flamed cheese with toast is a simple but delicious appetizer or snack. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste.
