Waffle Iron "Fried" Cheese

  



Cheese squares are "fried" in a waffle iron until the outsides are golden brown and crunchy and the insides have become melted and gooey.

 

Many cheeses drip inspired these waffled cheese squares, which are breaded and "fried" in a waffle iron for just a minute until their exteriors turn golden brown and crunchy and the insides become molten and gooey.

 

A waffle iron is the best tool for the task here, far superior to any frying pan. Without the need to turn it over, the direct heat crisps the breading on the top and bottom surfaces.

 

Ingredients

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon paprika, or a pinch of cayenne pepper

1/2 pound low-moisture mozzarella, sliced about 1/2 inch thick

2 large eggs, beaten

1/2 cup bread crumbs

Nonstick cooking spray

Salsa, for serving even syrup will do

 

Warm up the waffle maker.

 

On a plate, combine flour and paprika or cayenne pepper. Place the eggs on a separate plate or bowl, and the bread crumbs on a third. Coat each slice of cheese in flour, then egg, breadcrumbs.

Spray both sides of the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray, add as many cheese slices as will fit, and close the lid. Cook for 1 minute, or until the bread crumbs turn golden brown. Repeat with any leftover cheese.

Serve immediately, either on its own or with salsa or syrup for dipping.

Broken Glass Jello Kid Friendly

 



Broken glass jello is created with a total of four flavors of colorful jello that have been cubed and poured over with a sweet and creamy gelatin mixture to resemble beautiful shards of stained glass.

 

This broken glass jello recipe, also known as stained glass jello, is brimming with multiple flavors of colorful jello cubes twirling within a gelatin and sweetened condensed milk combination. When set, the result is this stunning dessert that can be tailored to any holiday or theme! This recipe is much simpler than it appears, and even children can help.

 

JELLO - Select the colors and flavors of the jello mix that you prefer. This one included cherry, orange, lemon, and blue raspberry. If you want to sugar-free jello may be replaced.

 

INGREDIENTS - The sweetened condensed milk gives the unflavored gelatin a sweet creaminess.

 

Nonstick cooking spray in four small square or rectangular containers. We used 6" square glass flat-bottomed food storage containers.

Fill each container with 1 packet of jello and 1 cup of boiling water. Whisk the mixtures together until the jello is completely dissolved in the boiling water. Place the containers in the refrigerator for 2 hours to set, with lids if available.

Once the jello has been set, cut it into small cubes.

 

Nonstick cooking spray on the bottom and sides of a 913 glass baking dish.

Place the colored jello cubes into the 913 dishes and gently toss them to distribute the colors evenly through the dish.

 

Dissolve the two packets of unflavored gelatin in the remaining 2 cups of boiling water in a separate bowl. Whisk in the can of sweetened condensed milk once it has been dissolved. Cool until the mixture reaches room temperature.

 

In the 913 dishes, pour the white gelatin mixture over the colored cubes. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or until completely set.

 

Jello should be cut into squares and served.
