Bruschetta Goat Cheese Panini's




 
 
Who's ready for the Super Bowl I know I always like to build a Panini Bar with a variety of meats and cheeses and then some sliders with a couple of dips, and then have the guests bring deserts This is one of my  quick and easy, go to recipes, and you will be in and out of the kitchen in 5 min, including clean up!


TIP Of The Day: If you do not own a Panini Press Take a brick and cover with foil and place on top of sandwich. Works the same Way as a Panini Machine. In addition to you can use your George Foreman cooking Machine they are pretty much the same.

Gluten Free French Bread  2 Slices 1/2 inch thick I make the Glutino Mix
2 Tablespoons Goat Cheese
1 Tablespoon Tomato Bruschetta

Take Some Gluten Free French Bread and Cut ½ inch Slices













Next Take goat cheese spread on Gluten Free Bread
Last take Tomato Bruschetta and spread on top of goat cheese.
Optional Butter Outside of Gluten FreeBread
Place in Panini in Panini Machine and cook for about 1-2 min or in Frying Pan on Medium Heat for 1 min each side.

Bruschetta Goat Cheese Sliders

With Super Bowl Sunday coming right around the corner I am always looking for great recipes to serve at my super bowl party and this is a old one but a great one.  I thought to my self what do I have in my freezer that I could make that had the burger feel. However, because I live in the land of La La, I try to watch what I eat. So when I am making burgers, I always try to do sliders. This way I get to eat the guilty pleasure of a burger and it is not supper big. So if I eat one slider with fries or chips I am full.


Tip Of The Day: Before going to the Market Check the sale advertisements
mine comes out On Tuesday Night at Midnight online for my local Ralph's or Vons Markets. I See what is on sale and stock up on my Meat Poultry and Fish and I freeze it. This way when you have that inspiration or are reading a recipe on my website you already have the ingredients available.

Bruschetta Goat Cheese Sliders

Makes 8-10 Sliders


Ingredients:
1 pound Ground Sirloin
½ chopped Red Onion about 1cup finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon pepper


Filling:

8-10 ½ teaspoons of  Bruschetta spread make sure it's gluten free
8-10 ½ teaspoons of Goat Cheese

1 Bag of Gluten Free Dinner Rolls Sliced Horizontally

Equipment:

Grill, Frying Pan or Grill Pan
Large Bowl for Mixing
Platter or Plate one for patties Cooked one for Raw patties






Mix first 6 Ingredients together in bowl. Next form16-20 thin patties, so you can meld together after placing filling on top. Next sprinkles Bruschetta and goat cheese on top of thin patty.






Then place other patty on top and squish together so you do not see the filling. Next place on grill for 3-5 min a side until desired wellness. When Cooked place on Gluten Free Roll and serve with chips

Gluten Free Spiced Vanilla French Toast with Fresh Strawberries)

I went to the cupboard, To give my poor child a breakfast: When finally there, The cupboard was not yet bare, only 7 items were there, And so the poor girl had to wait to see what her Mom could make, out of these 7 magical Ingredients.

I woke up this past Sunday Morning with the following Ingredients in my Cupboard/Refrigerator: Strawberries, Powder Sugar, Loaf of stale Gluten Free Bread, 1 egg ,Vanilla, Cream and only a 1/4 cup of milk and some spices. Plus I scrounged up some brown and serve sausage in my freezer which I happened to purchase at the 99 cents store.

So What Did I make ?
Cinnamon spiced Vanilla French Toast with Fresh Strawberries
Ingredients:
Gluten free bread of choice
1 egg
1 pint of Strawberries sliced ( For Garnish)
Powder Sugar (For Garnish)
1/2  cup Whipping Cream
1/4 Cup Milk
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon All Spice
 1 teaspoon Butter for Grill

Equipment:
1 Large Bowl
1 Whisk
A frying Pan or a grill

                                            

Heat grill and place butter on.



Take one egg crack in Large Bowl and whisk until well blended add Coffee Mate and Milk plus Cinnamon and Allspice. Whisk together until well Blended






Next Slice Bread on the diagonal this way the slices are a lot larger and I feel it looks a lot prettier too.







Take Bread and float and flip in egg mixture then fry or grill on greased pan cook on low until golden then flip. Repeat on both sides.







TIP OF THE DAY: Make sure Eggs are completely cooked through! The reason I say this is salmonella poisoning. I really want to stress that you need to make sure that your eggs are completely cooked!!! I like to put my french toast inside the oven after I cook it for 20 minutes at 250 degrees. This way my bacon or sausage is hot when I serve and my fruit is freshly cut.

 
 

When finished place on plate with French Toast and Strawberries on top I served with Sausage but you could also do Bacon if that’s what’s in the Cupboard/Refrigerator
 
Bon Appetite, Enjoy !!
