JIMMY BRADLEY'S SALAD WITH GRUYèRE



Jimmy Bradley's Salad With Gruyère image

"I'm a big proponent of what you might call stoner food," the chef and restaurateur Jimmy Bradley told me in 2003, when he gave me this recipe for what amounts to fondue topped with a potato salad topped with a green one. "I think there should always be something on the menu at my restaurants, where someone can come in and see it and say, 'Yeah, man, I want some of that right now, and then we'll figure out the rest of the meal." Well, yeah, man: a pool of warm Gruyère, topped with batons of bacon, wedges of potato, a bitter salad of greens, the cold against the warm, the salty against the faintly sweet and acidic? Pair that with a slightly chilled red wine and someone special and you can figure out the rest later.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 Yukon Gold potatoes, about 5 ounces each, peeled and quartered lengthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
10 ounces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream, or more if needed
2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 head Belgian endive, leaves separated
4 to 6 cups cleaned, torn arugula or dandelion greens

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.

CURLY ENDIVE SALAD WITH MUSTARD DRESSING, EGG AND GRUYèRE



Curly Endive Salad With Mustard Dressing, Egg and Gruyère image

This wintry salad uses the pale center leaves of the curly endive - save the outer leaves for another use, like adding to a soup - but you could also combine them with Belgian endive and Chioggia, Treviso or speckled Castelfranco radicchio. As for the eggs, which add heft, cook them as you prefer, with a runny, gooey or moist yolk.

Provided by David Tanis

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large eggs, at room temperature
Ice water
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, grated or mashed to a paste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
4 large handfuls tender, pale curly endive (from the center of 2 medium heads), washed and dried
About 2 ounces 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



Gruyère and Tomato Salad image

This is something I grew up with, a dish my grandmother and mom always served family-style. For me, this combination-a fluffy, snowy mountain of shaved Gruyère with sliced sweet-tart tomato-is home. In Alsace, we sometimes mixed wine vinegar with honey and spices for the dressing, but sherry vinegar has a similar nuanced sweetness that works very well here.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 1/2 ounces Gruyère cheese
1 large ripe tomato
1 white new (spring) onion or 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or other neutral oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

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 SOUFFLE WITH FRISEE SALAD



Gruyere Souffle with Frisee Salad image

A classic cheese souffle baked in a large ramekin that's perfect for two. Serve with a simple frisee salad dressed with a champagne vinaigrette and crispy bacon lardons.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
3/4 cup whole milk
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large egg whites
Pinch cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cream of tartar
1/3 cup grated Gruyere
4 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1/4-inch lardons
1/2 large shallot, minced
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small head frisee, cut into bite-size pieces (about 2 cups)
2 small radishes, thinly sliced

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality Gruyère cheese.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of salad greens. Arugula, spinach, and romaine lettuce all work well in this salad.
  • If you don't have any walnuts on hand, you can substitute another type of nut, such as almonds or pecans.
  • For a more flavorful dressing, use a combination of olive oil and vinegar. Balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar are both good choices.
  • If you want to add some extra sweetness to the salad, try adding a few slices of fresh fruit, such as apples or grapes.

Conclusion:

Gruyère cheese salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new salad recipe to try, give Gruyère cheese salad a try.
