Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup fine-ground yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/3 to 1/2 cup boiling water
Canola oil, for frying
Salsa or guacamole, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, shortening and salt with a fork until the shortening is completely incorporated into the cornmeal. Mix in the boiling water a little at a time until a stiff dough forms, about the consistency of soft clay.
  • Press the dough into the donut molds in a thin even layer to completely coat each mold, including the centerpiece that would create the hole in the donut. Dip your fingers in water to keep the dough from sticking to them as you press it into the molds.
  • Bake until firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then carefully remove the sombreros from the molds.
  • Fill a medium pot with about 4 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the sombreros until just light brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and sprinkle with a bit of salt.
  • Fill each sombrero with salsa or guacamole.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Gather and measure all ingredients and chop vegetables before starting to cook. This will help ensure the dish is prepared efficiently and without interruption.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will add the best flavor to your dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many ways to customize this dish to your liking. Try adding different vegetables, cheeses, or spices, or using a different type of tortilla.
  • Cook the dish until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the dish is cooked through and the cheese is evenly distributed.
  • Serve the dish immediately: This is when it will be at its best, with the cheese still melted and the tortillas crispy.

Conclusion:

The Sombrero Bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover ingredients, and it can be customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a hearty and filling dish for a potluck, the Sombrero Bake is sure to please everyone at the table.
