ROMEO AND JULIET ALMOND ROUNDS
Steps:
- Almond Butter: Toast almonds: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in single layer on baking sheet. Bake approx. 8 minutes, stirring once, until lightly brown. Cool. Grind almonds in food processor fitted with steel blade 2 minutes, then add oil and salt. Process until smooth (approx 5 minutes). Note: almond butter will not be as creamy as commercial nut butters. (Almond butter can be made in advance. Store refrigerated. Bring to room temperature and stir before using.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Divide French Loaf dough in half crosswise. Gently stretch first piece of dough until it is approx. 13 inches long. Repeat with remaining piece of dough. Lay dough pieces on cookie sheet, seam side down. Bake 15 minutes. Let cool. Preheat broiler. Slice bread into approx. 1/2 inch rounds using serrated knife. Lay slices flat on ungreased cookie sheet. Lightly spray tops of rounds with cooking spray (canola oil, olive oil or butter-flavored spray may be used). Broil until golden brown (approx. 2 minutes), watching carefully so they don't burn. Let cool. Spread top of each round with a thin layer of almond butter. Top with thin slices (approx 1/8 inch) of cheese and guava paste. Makes approx. 48. Serve at room temperature. NOTE: Thin strips of guava paste may be rolled into rosebud shapes.
