Using three high-quality cheeses makes all the difference in these bars. The result is a versatile hors d'oeuvre that's sure to be a hit.
Ingredients:
butter for greasing pan
about 1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/4 pound finely grated parmigiano-reggiano (2 cups)
1/4 pound finely grated pecorino romano (2 cups)
1/4 pound finely grated gruyère (1 1/2 cups)
Directions:
1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Butter bottom and sides of baking pan, then sprinkle with bread crumbs, knocking out excess.
2. Whisk together flour and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk together eggs, oil, and milk in a large bowl, then stir in cheeses. Add flour mixture, stirring until incorporated (dough will be stiff).
3. Press dough evenly into pan, then smooth top with a spatula. Bake until golden and firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 10 minutes, turn bread onto a cutting board, then turn right side up. Cut into 24 bars (3 by 1 1/2 inches) and serve warm or at room temperature.
4. Cooks' note: Kebabs can be cooked in a well-oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan or broiled on foil-lined rack of a broiler pan.
