Josephinas can either be served as an appetizer or main meal. Be sure to use day old French bread. I like to be creative and use a variety of cheeses, not necessarily of Mexican origin. Feel free to substitute a less fiery chili pepper such as anaheim or even green bell pepper. I'm going to take a wild guess and say this recipe was named after Napoleon's Josephine. But I could be wrong! From Better Homes and Gardens-with a few changes. PS If time is on my side, I will bake loaves of bolillos or teleras to make this recipe instead of the sourdough baguette. Ingredients:
1 french sourdough baguette, day old (i used whole wheat sourdough) |
1/2 cup white onion, finely minced |
1/2 cup white cheddar cheese (can also use french feta, mozzarella, cotija, etc.) |
1 large garlic clove, finely minced |
1/4 cup full fat sour cream (thickened creme fraiche can be used instead) |
1/2 small jalapeno, finely minced |
paprika |
2 tablespoons scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced, for garnish |
butter or olive oil, for spreading |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to BROIL.
2. Slice the baguette lengthwise then slice into 4 slices. (If making as an appetizer, cut into 2 slices.).
3. Lightly butter or spray olive oil on the baguette slices and broil for about 2 minutes until toasted.
4. Combine the white onion, cheese, garlic, sour cream and jalapeno in a bowl.
5. Once the bread is toasted, divide and spread the onion mixture onto each baguette slice. Sprinkle each slice with paprika.
6. BROIL for approximately 1-2 minutes watching oven {{carefully}}!
7. Remove from oven and garnish with green onions. Serve immediately.
8. Yield is estimated.
