PICCALILLI



Piccalilli image

Growing up in England, Piccalilli was commercially available, but none were as good as my grandmother's recipe. This was always a favorite with cheese. It is a good relish to have on hand and would be tasty in a ham sandwich.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons lard or vegetable shortening, chilled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
3 to 5 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/4 pound imported Swiss Gruyere cheese, coarsely grated (about 1 cup)
1/4 pound imported Swiss Emmentaler cheese, coarsely grated (about 1 cup)
2 eggs
1/2 cup light cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, preferably freshly grated

Steps:

  • Make the pastry shell: In a large chilled bowl combine the flour, salt, chilled butter, and the lard or vegetable shortening. Blend together until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Pour 3 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture. Toss together lightly and gather the dough into a ball. Add more water until dough holds together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour before using.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 14-inch round, about 1/8-inch thick. Place the dough in a 9-inch tart pan. Gently press it into the bottom and around the sides of the pan, being careful not to stretch the dough. Trim off the excess dough by rolling the pin over the rim of the pan.
  • Line the inside of the tart shell with aluminum foil and fill with beans or pie weights. Blind bake in the middle shelf of the oven for 10 minutes. Remove foil, prick the dough all over with a fork and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the shell begins to brown.
  • Make the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a heavy 6 to 8-inch skillet, heat the oil over moderate heat until haze forms above it. Add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are soft and transparent but not brown. Stir in the paprika and set aside off the heat.
  • In a bowl toss together the Gruyere and Emmentaler cheese until thoroughly combined. Spread half the cheese evenly in the baked pastry shell and scatter the onions over it. Cover with the remaining cheese.
  • Beat the eggs cream, milk, salt, and nutmeg together with a wire whisk and pour the mixture slowly and evenly over the cheese.
  • Bake in the upper third of the oven for 10 minutes. Increase the heat to 425 degrees and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the filling has puffed and browned and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove pan from the oven and remove the tart from the pan.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature as a first or main course.

A wonderful little cheesecake for a dessert buffet. It is incredibly easy to make and looks and tastes very impressive. I saw Paula Deen make them on FoodTV and I couldn't wait to try them myself. Use canned pie filling, fresh fruit or use your imagination!

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
12 vanilla wafers
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling (or whatever else suits your fancy) or 1 (21 ounce) can blueberry pie filling (or whatever else suits your fancy)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place a paper cupcake liner in each cup (12 total) of muffin pan.
  • Beat cream cheese with electric mixer until fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
  • Place a vanilla wafer FLAT side down, in each muffin cup. Spoon cream cheese mixture over wafers filling each to about 1/4 inch from top of paper.
