Cheddar Cheese Devilled Eggs

Ingredients:

1 dozen eggs
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp chives or shallots, finely chopped
1/4 cup red peppers, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon tabasco
Salt and pepper
Paprika
1/4 cup Salerno Cheddar Cheese, grated

As Seen in Fromaggio Magazine Spring/Summer 2009

Method:

First hard boil the eggs. Fill up a large saucepan half-way with water and gently add the eggs. Cover the eggs with at least an inch of water. Add a teaspoon of vinegar to the water (this will help contain egg whites from leaking out if any of the shells crack while cooking).

Add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil. Cover, and remove from heat. Let sit covered for 12 to 15 minutes. Drain hot water from pan and run cold water over the eggs. Let sit in the cool water a few minutes, changing the water if necessary to keep it cool.

Peel the eggs. Using a sharp knife, slice each egg in half, lengthwise. Gently remove the yolk halves and place in a small mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.

Using a fork, mash up the yolks and add mustard, mayonnaise, onion, red peppers, Tabasco, grated Salerno Cheddar Cheese and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Spoon egg yolk mixture into the egg white halves. Sprinkle with grated cheese and paprika.

2/3 cup Salerno grated Parmesan Cheese
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp mustard powder

Bake for 10 minutes, or until the Parmesan thins are crisp but not changing colour.
The Parmesan thins are a good choice to serve with the pear salad (see recipe above). They are also a great addition to a party appetizer selection or as a snack any time of the day.

Method:

In a large bowl sift, together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add the Salerno Provolone Cheese, scallions, the parsley, rosemary, pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes, and toss the mixture well. In a small bowl whisk together shortening, the reserved sun-dried tomato oil, and sugar until the mixture is smooth, and add the garlic, eggs, and buttermilk. Blend mixture until well combined. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture with the pine nuts and stir the batter until it is just combined. Divide the batter among 3 well-buttered 5 3/4- by 3 1/4-inch loaf pans, smoothing the tops, and bake the loaves in the middle of a preheated 350 F oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 5 minutes, loosen the edges with a knife, and turn the loaves out onto a rack.
