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 CHEDDAR FRICO WITH ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss together both cheeses and the flour. Heat a large nonstick skillet over a low to medium flame and sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the pan to form a 4-inch circle. Sprinkle some thyme over the cheese and cook until the cheese is somewhat melted but not firm. Using a spatula, turn the cheese over and cook until firm and golden.
• Transfer the frico to a paper towel, then quickly drape over a large rolling pin until completely cooled, to form a shell shape.
• To serve, remove from pin and top each frico with arugula salad.
• In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, shallots, mustard, and honey. Whisk in the olive oil and add salt and pepper, to taste. Lightly dress arugula leaves with the vinaigrette.

RAW MUSTARD GREENS SALAD WITH GRUYèRE AND ANCHOVY CROUTONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine anchovies and garlic in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Place bread cubes in medium bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons anchovy oil over, tossing to coat. Sprinkle bread with salt, pepper, and half of cheese; toss to coat.
• Spray rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Scatter bread on sheet. Bake croutons until crisp and golden, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Measure 8 cups (loosely packed) mustard greens and place in large bowl (reserve any remaining greens for another use). Add croutons and remaining cheese to bowl. Whisk 5 teaspoons lemon juice into remaining anchovy oil; season dressing with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired. Add dressing to salad; toss to coat.

CURLY ENDIVE SALAD WITH MUSTARD DRESSING, EGG AND GRUYèRE

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add eggs (the water should cover them), and return to a boil. Adjust heat so that the water is at a brisk simmer. For a runny yolk, cook for 7 minutes; for a gooey center, cook for 8 minutes; for a slightly moist center, cook for 9 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath.
• Immediately drain eggs and plunge into ice water to cool. When cool, crack and peel eggs. (Eggs can be cooked and peeled up to several hours in advance, and refrigerated.) Roughly chop eggs into haphazard slices.
• Put vinegar, mustard and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk with a fork to dissolve. Slowly whisk in olive oil to make a slightly thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Put endive in a low, wide salad bowl and sprinkle very lightly with salt. Add dressing to taste and toss well. Transfer greens to individual plates. Top with chopped egg. With a vegetable peeler, shave thin slices of Gruyère over each salad.

GRUYèRE AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Grate the Gruyère on the large holes of a box grater directly over a large serving plate. Cut the tomato in half from top to bottom, remove the core, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange the tomato half-moons in a circle around the mound of cheese.
• Sprinkle the onion and parsley all over the cheese, then season everything with a pinch of salt and generous grindings of black pepper. Drizzle the oil, then the vinegar, all over the salad and serve immediately.

GRUYERE CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• Mix all salad ingredients together in bowl.
• Pour in vinaigrette and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve on spinach leaves.

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 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.
