Like cheese itself\u2014milk, salt, starter culture, rennet\u2014the best recipes involving cheese add up to so much more than the sum of their parts. They fuse cultures, blend unexpected flavors and ingredients, or seem equally ideal for breakfast or dessert. Life is too short\u2014and winter is too long\u2014to get into a cheese rut.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a bid to extract ourselves and you from the same-old standard cheese-fare, we\u2019re revisiting Gruy\u00e8re and looking to cheese producers, chefs, and experts from around the world to keep us sated and inspired, from breakfast until bedtime with unexpected recipes that remind us, once again, how versatile, and surprising cheese can be.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gruy\u00e8re is a light-golden hard Swiss cheese named for the city of Gruy\u00e8re. Today Le Gruy\u00e8re AOP is made in Switzerland (PGI Gruy\u00e8re is made in France). The Alpine cheese is highly meltable, sweet, and slightly salty. In its youth, it tends toward nuttiness, and when fully aged (up to 1 year), it becomes sharper and earthier. Use Le Gruy\u00e8re AOP in recipes and consider saving the Le Gruy\u00e8re AOP Reserve (aged for a minimum of 300 days) for cheese plates. Read even more about <\/em>Le Gruy\u00e9re d\u2019Alpage AOP<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Gruy\u00e8re can be a snacking cheese, but its creamy texture and elasticity when heated make it a go-to in grilled cheese sandwiches, fondue, and French onion soup. One of the most widely available Gruy\u00e8res available in the U.S. is Emmi Le Gruy\u00e8re AOP<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first records of Gruy\u00e8re date back to 1115,<\/a> when dairy farmers in the Swiss alpine village of Gruy\u00e8res began preserving their milk into wheels of unctuous, sustaining delectation for times of want. The firm, golden cheese is generally aged for six months or more (longer aging deepens the flavors, aromas and colors), and it is made from cow\u2019s milk. The geographical designation \u201cAOP\u201d provides protection for the name of the cheese in Europe, but in the U.S.? Not so much. Read more about the most <\/em>recent ruling<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gruy\u00e8re Recipes <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Distinctive, with creamy, nutty flavors, it is a cheese that will appeal to most palates, and can be deployed in many different recipes. These recipes show a technique you might not expect with Gruy\u00e8re\u2014baking in biscuits and arancini.<\/p>\n

Gruy\u00e8re Raisin Biscuits\u00a0<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n

\"Gruy\u00e8re<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Serves 16-18\u00a0<\/p>\n

These Gruy\u00e8re biscuits are savory, with a touch of sweetness thanks to the raisins, making them a delicious option for breakfast. Jennifer Hernandez<\/a>, a pastry chef and recipe developer, whips up batches to keep her fueled for her busiest baking days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ingredients:
<\/strong>350 grams all purpose flour, about 2 \u00be cups
2.5 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
.5-1 tsp. dried mustard powder
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh thyme (a few sprigs)
4 oz Gruy\u00e8re AOP
6 tbsp. grams cold butter
1 cup cream, milk, buttermilk, half-and-half or any combination
\u00bc-1\/2 cup golden raisins<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grate, dice or crumble Gruy\u00e8re and set aside in the fridge while you\u2019re prepping the rest of the recipe.<\/p>\n

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, mustard powder, black pepper and thyme. Whisk to combine.<\/p>\n

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work butter into flour mixture until sandy with some pea sized lumps.<\/p>\n

Add cheese and raisins to the dry mixture.<\/p>\n

Using a fork to toss, slowly drizzle in the dairy. Mix with a fork until the mixture just holds together.<\/p>\n

Empty the bowl onto a clean, dry surface and pat into a mass about 1\u201d thick.<\/p>\n

Cut rounds using a biscuit cutter (a 2 1\/4 inch cutter works well).<\/p>\n

Gather remaining dough and gently press together and cut more rounds. You should end up with 16-18 small biscuits.<\/p>\n

Place biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate.<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0 and about 15 minutes after it\u2019s come to temperature, brush the biscuits with milk or cream and sprinkle with a little extra cheese.<\/p>\n

Bake the biscuits for 18-25 minutes until golden brown.<\/p>\n

Broken Sleep Soup With Gruy\u00e8re, Smoked Olive Arancini\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Serves 4-6\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gruy\u00e8re is a soulful snack on its own, but in this dish, it becomes soul food.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chef Katrina Meynink, author of From Salt to Jam<\/a>, says the Broken Sleep Soup \u201cfeeds the soul as well as the belly.\u201d She suggests making big batches so you can snag it from the freezer for a midnight snack. This is also makes a hearty lunch and a great light dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 cups crushed red tomatoes, or marinara sauce\u00a0<\/p>\n

4 tablespoons mascarpone<\/p>\n

basil leaves and oregano leaves, to scatter<\/p>\n

For the Arancini:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons olive oil<\/p>\n

1 onion, diced<\/p>\n

2 garlic cloves, crushed<\/p>\n

4 oz smoked kalamata olives, chopped<\/p>\n

8 oz arborio or carnaroli rice<\/p>\n

1 cup white wine<\/p>\n

2 cups chicken stock<\/p>\n

3.5 oz Gruy\u00e8re AOP, grated<\/p>\n

3.5 oz Cheddar, grated<\/p>\n

2.75 oz flour<\/p>\n

2 large organic free-range eggs, lightly whisked<\/p>\n

5.5 oz dry breadcrumbs\u00a0<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To make the arancini, heat the olive oil in a pressure cooker or in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until pale and translucent. Add the garlic and chopped olives and cook until fragrant. Add the rice and cook until toasted, about 1\u20132 minutes. Add the wine and stock. If using your pressure cooker, add all the wine and stock at once and set to the risotto function and cook for 12\u201314 minutes.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, if using the stovetop method, add the stock gradually, and cook for 15\u201320 minutes, stirring regularly and adding the wine and stock until the rice is cooked through. Stir the cheeses through until melted. Remove the rice and pop in the fridge, uncovered, for an hour or so, or until the rice has cooled, feels lightly sticky and is easy to handle.<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 360 degrees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roll the risotto into balls, approximately the size of golf balls. Roll the balls in flour, then beaten egg, followed by the breadcrumbs to coat, shaking off any excess. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 20 minutes, turning gently halfway through to get a nice even brown crust.<\/p>\n

To make the soup, add the bloody useful red sauce and passata to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often to prevent catching, until warmed through. If it seems too thick, you can thin it out with a dash of stock. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Scoop into bowls, add a dollop of mascarpone and top with 2\u20133 arancini per serve. You can halve these and scatter over the top. Add a few basil and oregano leaves and serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
