Best Cheese With Truffle Flavored Vinaigrette Recipes

CHESTNUT ROASTED FIGS WITH TRUFFLE VINAIGRETTE AND TRUFFLE CHEESE

Steps:

• Rinse the chestnuts under water. Take a sharp knife and score the flat side of the chestnut, making a cross. Toss nuts in a little oil and sprinkle with salt. Lay the oiled nuts out on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 275-degree F oven for about 20 minutes or until fully roasted (shell opens). Let the chestnuts cool, and then peel and chop them. Chop half of the nut very finely and the other half coarsely.
• Cut the figs in half and place on skewers; 3 halves per skewer. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle the finely chopped chestnuts over the figs and place under a hot broiler and heat until browned.
• To make the dressing, combine the shallots, mustard, vinegar and thyme and whisk together. Slowly whisk in the oil and finish with the truffle oil and season with salt to pepper.
• To plate the dish, toss the mache in the vinaigrette, sprinkle with finely chopped chestnuts and place in the center of the plate. Place a warm fig skewer diagonally on top of the salad. Place coarsely chopped chestnuts around the plate. Sliver the truffle cheese and lay on top of the fig salad. Finally, drizzle some truffle vinaigrette around the plate.

CHEESE WITH TRUFFLE-FLAVORED VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Arrange one slice of cheese on each of four dark-colored plates.
• Combine the truffle liquid, mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper to taste and whisk thoroughly to blend.
• Put the salad leaves in a bowl and pour the sauce over them. Toss to blend. Divide the leaves among the plates, placing the salad next to the cheese slices.

SPRING VEGETABLE SALAD WITH PARMESAN TUILES AND WHITE TRUFFLE-OIL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Tuiles: Place a 12-inch non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan on the bottom of the pan. As it starts to melt, use a spatula to form it into three 2 by 5-inch strips. When the cheese starts to bubble and turn golden brown, remove the pan from the heat. Let cool for 4 to 5 minutes; the strips should be pliable. Pick up one end of a strip with a pair of tongs and lay it across the bottom of an overturned bowl or across a wide cylinder so that the tuile hardens into an arc. Set aside and repeat the process with the other strips. Repeat the entire process with the remaining cheese. (Yields 9 Tuiles) White Truffle-Oil Vinaigrette: Blend all the vinaigrette ingredients except their oils in a 2-quart stainless steel bowl. Whisk in the olive and white truffle oils in a slow, steady stream until it is all incorporated and the sauce emulsifies.
• Salad: Remove the mushroom caps from their stems. Clean the tops with a damp cloth or towel. Peel the stem using a vegetable peeler; discard the scraps. Slice the mushrooms as thinly as possible, and place in a 2-quart stainless steel bowl. Add the remaining vegetables. Add the vinaigrette and toss well.
• To serve: Divide the salad among 6 chilled plates. Stand a Parmesan tuile over each salad. Handle gently and serve immediately.

FOUR-CHEESE TRUFFLED MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Whisk flour into butter until mixture has a thick, paste-like consistency, about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk 2 cups milk into butter-flour mixture until smooth. Stir in remaining milk, increase heat to medium high, and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thick and almost boiling, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Stir Gouda cheese, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese into milk mixture until cheese melts and cheese sauce is smooth. Fold cavatappi into cheese sauce; pour mixture into prepared baking dish.
• Stir remaining Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs together in a small bowl. Sprinkle bread crumbs mixture over cavatappi mixture and drizzle truffle oil over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
