I love that these look way more complicated than they are. I have to admit I don't usually post this many recipes in one day! I have been pushing these through as I make them. Plus making several corrections on my other 2. Read more . My girlfriend is coming for dinner. Yahoo!! so HB will go out and we can Yum out!! I am almost full already, testing them out!! This is also from Mardi Michels. Ingredients:
for the bread cases |
1 loaf of one to two day-old bread, large enough to cut the crusts off and still be able to cut cubes from
melted butter (about 1/2 stick 8 ounces ) |
for the filling |
1 ounce butter |
1 ounce flour |
5 ounces milk |
1 egg yolk, beaten |
2 ounces grated gruyere cheese |
1 tablespoon butter
2-3 cherry tomatoes, very finely sliced or diced |
cherry tomatoes for garnish, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. To make the bread cases:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Slice crusts and ends off the bread to make the loaf rectangular. Slice in half and cut each slice into 3-4 even-sized cubes. Hollow out the center of each cube to form a space for the filling and cheese sauce. Brush the sides with the melted butter and bake for 5-7 minutes until the cases are golden brown. Remove from oven and place on paper towels to drain excess butter.
2. To make filling:
3. Melt the butter, add flour and cook for a few minutes. Remove from heat and pour in the almost boiling milk, whisking to remove lumps. Adding the egg yolk, butter and cheese. Return to the heat and stir with a wooden spoon, RESERVE a little of the cheese to cover the finished bread cases. The sauce will thicken over the heat.
4. Fill and cook the bread cases:
5. Preheat oven to 400F. Fill the bread cases with the sliced or diced cherry tomatoes. Top with the cheese sauce and a sprinkle of the reserved cheese. Place the filled cases on a baking sheet and bake until the filling is hot and bubbling and golden on the top. Slice a tomato on put on top. These can be made a head and quickly reheated.
