Parmesan Puff Recipe


Recipe for Parmesan Puffs
Those delicious little pastry puffs filled with either sweet (whipped cream, ice cream) or savory (herb cream cheese, goat cheese) fillings are perfect as appetizers or dessert. 

Try this delicious appetizer recipe.a delicious combination!
I aimed to develop extra Italian recipes for the recipe catalog, and I began to consider these delightful profiteroles. I was considering ways to simplify and speed up reaching the dinner table! 

Thus, I devised the concept of unfilled, cheesy profiteroles. Or, as I prefer to name them – parmesan puffs (it’s simply simpler than “profiteroles”!). 

These parmesan puffs are an exceptionally simple and delicious treat. The parmesan cheese provides a delightful, cheesy taste, the black pepper adds a touch of spice, and they require very little time to make. Overall, it’s quite a reliable recipe. 


Ingredient
  • 1 1/2 cups flour, 
  • 1 teaspoon salt, 
  • 1 cup margarine, 
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, 
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, 
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 
  • 2 tablespoons chopped mushrooms, and 
  • 2 tablespoons chopped ripe olives

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine flour and salt; cut in margarine until mixture forms a ball. Stir in the sour cream. Divide the dough into four equal parts. Wrap each component in plastic wrap and chill for several hours. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Roll each section into a 12 x 6-inch rectangle on a floured board. Half of each rectangle should be topped with cheese, onion, mushrooms, or olives. Fold the dough in half to make a 6-inch square. Press the edges of the 6-inch square as you cut it into 2-inch squares. Continue until all of the dough has been prepared.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350°F. Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking for 30 minutes. This tasty appetizer recipe yields 36 appetizers....excellent! Have fun with it!

Consume Now or Prepare for Later 

These parmesan cheese puffs are most enjoyable when served right away while hot, but you can prepare them in advance. If you intend to serve them in the next day or two, keep them at room temperature in a sealed container. When you're set to serve, simply place them back in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes to warm them up. 

If you intend to offer them after a day or two, I’ve discovered that they freeze exceptionally well. Place in the freezer using a sealed container. They ought to last for as long as three months. 

Function as a Complement to a Main Dish or as an Independent Appetizer 

Countless tasty methods exist to present these small puffs. First of all, they serve as an enhanced and ideal substitute for your regular dinner roll. Spread them with butter or soak them in olive oil, and you’ve got a delicious side of bread! 

For festive occasions, they serve as a delightful cheesy addition to ham. This makes them ideal for your Easter or Christmas table. 

These delights also have a fantastic flavor when paired with an Italian themed dinner. To me, essentially any pasta smothered in a tasty marinara sauce pairs well with these puffs. I believe they are delicious when served with a large dish of Classic Spaghetti and Meatballs or One Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta. 

I enjoy pairing these parmesan puffs with Lobster Bisque and a Field Greens Salad for an indulgent dinner on a date night at home. 

In their mini version, they make an excellent dish for an appetizer. These tiny rolls only require a bit of butter, and your guests will enjoy them. 

They're overflowing with cheesy delight, and you can serve them at your table in 30 minutes. What an awesome combination!

Advice 

As I often recommend shredding cheese fresh for recipes, ensure you select high-quality cheese and cut it right before serving. Pre-sliced pieces are frequently coated with a substance that stops them from adhering to one another. 

You can prepare your cheese and crackers in advance by cutting and dicing your cheese earlier in the day. Stack your cheese, preserves, and crackers right before serving. 

Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an extra tasty layer of topping.

Starter Recipes INSTRUCTIONS:

Brush saltines with liquefied spread and orchestrate in a solitary layer on treat sheets. Sprinkle ground cheddar over saltines and sprinkle cayenne over cheddar.
Place under grill just until effervescent. Try not to let saltines brown excessively. Eliminate from broiler. Re-set broiler to 180°F and return saltines to stove to (or food dehydrator) and heat for 8 hours.

ITALIAN CHEESE PULL APART BREAD


Italian Cheese Pull Apart Bread 
- prepare this simple side dish on any evening of the week. Pop open a can of biscuits, mix with butter, spices, cheese and bake! 

This Garlic and Cheese Crack Bread is AMAZING! “Crack bread” fits perfectly as it’s garlic bread – intensified… 

It's essentially a cheesy garlic bread, but infinitely more enjoyable AND tasty! Cheese, garlic, and bread – presented as pull-apart bread. You can't make a mistake. Sure to be the highlight of any event you bring it to! 

A GARLIC BREAD THAT PULLS APART AND IS CHEESY 

"You will never view garlic bread in the same way again…" 

If you haven't experienced this Cheese and Garlic Crack Bread yet, I must caution you: garlic bread will never hold the same appeal afterwards. It resembles pull-apart bread but has the flavor of garlic bread, and the mozzarella cheese stretches beautifully as you tear off pieces. 

This is EXTREMELY tasty. I particularly enjoy how the bread is sliced into diamond shapes, allowing you to tear off bite-sized pieces. Each bite is infused with garlic, buttery, and incredibly cheesy…… 

“Children go CRAZY for this… and grown-ups become KIDS when they dive into this!!” 

This is something the kids go CRAZY for, don’t say I didn’t caution you! And adults transform into small children when they engage in this. I prepared this for dinner, and I have to say, it took 5 hands roughly 30 seconds to devour it! 

WAYS TO CREATE THE WORLD'S MOST DELICIOUS CHEESY BREAD! 

Ideal bread – The most suitable bread for Cheese and Garlic Crack Bread is crusty sourdough or any other dense variety, though plain crusty loaves are also effective. 

The reason it functions more effectively with sourdough is that the bread is denser, making it more likely to stay intact when you tear pieces away. Trust me, there is no sacrifice in taste if you opt for different kinds of bread! Actually, in the picture, I decided to use a crusty Vienna loaf since it was discounted. 

Optimal cheese – I highly suggest using mozzarella cheese for this, as you want it to stretch and pull when you break off the pieces. 

Additional flavorings – I maintained the flavors fairly straightforward, opting for a garlic bread with cheese, but you can truly get creative with the flavors for this! Ranch sauce, a hint of chili, various herbs – the options are limitless!
