PEAR CHEDDAR CHEESE CRISP



Pear Cheddar Cheese Crisp image

I found a recipe a couple years ago for a Pear Pie with Cheddar Cheese crumb crust. In a hurry one day I adapted the recipe to make just a crisp. In winter when I could only find canned pears I tried it & while the pears are a little softer it's still very tasty. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Number Of Ingredients 18

Filling:
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
4 pounds firm but ripe Anjou pears, peeled, cored, quartered, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
4 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, quartered, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup apple juice
Topping:
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup (packed) shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
2/3 cup whole milk
1 large egg

Steps:

  • For filling:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add half of pears and half of apples. Sauté until fruit is soft, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Transfer fruit to large bowl. Repeat with remaining 3 tablespoons butter and remaining pears and apples. Mix sugar, flour and ground cinnamon into fruit. Stir in whipping cream and apple juice. Transfer filling to 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. (Filling can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bake filling at 375°F for 10 minutes before adding topping.)
  • For topping:
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Add chilled butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in cheese. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.) Beat milk and egg in small bowl to blend. Mix into flour mixture with wooden spoon (dough will be stiff).
  • Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto filling, spacing evenly. Bake cobbler until filling is bubbling and tester inserted into topping comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.

CHEESE CRACKERS



Cheese Crackers image

Cheddar crackers. Cheese wafers. Coins, biscuits, straws and crisps. Known by many names and claimed by many grandmothers, they are all the same, delicious thing: a savory, addictive, shortbread cookie. The key to any short dough - that distinctive tender sandy crumbly texture - is the high fat-to-flour ratio, and this version not only relies on butter but also counts on the delicious fats that come from sesame seeds, block Cheddar and even the oil from the pecans. For a remarkable distinction among the many, many versions of these to be found, toast them until just passing golden into brown, and see how that in itself sets these apart.

Time 50m

Yield About 6 dozen crackers

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup loosely packed grated Cabot Farms Vermont white Cheddar (about 3 ounces)
2/3 cup loosely packed grated pecorino Romano cheese (about 1 ounce)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 large egg yolk
1/3 cup pecans, finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons)
3 tablespoons untoasted white sesame seeds
2 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Add the flour, both cheeses, salt and cayenne to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until combined.
  • Scatter the cold butter chunks on top, and pulse again to form coarse crumbs.
  • Add egg yolk, pecans and seeds, and pulse to combine thoroughly, yielding a coarse grainy meal.
  • Transfer mixture to a large stainless-steel bowl. Sprinkle the ice water on top, and knead briefly to bring the dough together, as you would a pie dough.
  • Divide the dough into thirds, and roll each into a neat, 8-inch-long cylinder that is about the width of a silver dollar. Wrap each log in plastic wrap, and twist the ends tightly in opposite directions, forming a perfect and compact torchon. Refrigerate until well chilled and completely firm; overnight is ideal.
  • Heat the oven to 375. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. Unwrap the dough, discarding plastic wrap, and slice the logs into thin coins, each about the width of a pencil.
  • Arrange the coins in neat rows on the prepared sheets, making sure they're not quite touching one another. This dough won't expand or flatten after baking.
  • Bake until golden at their centers and just starting to toast at their edges, about 20 minutes. Check them midway through baking, and rotate sheets if your oven bakes unevenly.
  • Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks to cool. Once they are fully cooled, transfer coins to an airtight container, where they will keep for up to 3 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears for the best flavor. Pears that are too firm will not soften properly in the crisp.
  • You can use any type of cheddar cheese you like, but a sharp cheddar will give the crisp the most flavor.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Be sure to press the crust firmly into the pan so that it doesn't crumble when you cut it.
  • Bake the crisp until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Pear cheddar cheese crisp is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and savory flavors, this crisp is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a dessert that is both delicious and impressive, give pear cheddar cheese crisp a try.
