After Chef Allen pairs the pancakes and goat cheese on an ovenproof dish, he bakes the combination to soften the cheese. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter or margarine |
1 medium granny smith apple, sliced |
3 tablespoons light brown sugar |
3 tablespoons applejack brandy |
3 medium-size sweet potatoes, peeled |
1/2 medium onion |
1 large egg |
3 tablespoons matzo meal |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup peanut oil |
3 ounces creamy goat cheese |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a skillet; add apple and brown sugar, and saute until tender. Stir in brandy; cook just until heated (do not boil). Remove from heat, and ignite with a long match; let flame 1 minute. Keep warm.
2. Grate potatoes and onion; combine vegetables, egg, and next 3 ingredients.
3. Drop mixture by tablespoonfuls into hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry 5 minutes or until crisp, turning once. Drain on paper towels, and place in a shallow baking dish. Cut goat cheese into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and place slices over pancakes.
4. Bake at 350° for 5 minutes. Serve pancakes with apple mixture.
5. Note: You may substitute apple juice for applejack brandy and omit flaming step.
