Once cooled, squeeze the cloves into a bowl and mash into a smooth paste. Make the ricotta spread: In that same bowl, combine the mashed roasted garlic, ricotta, lemon zest, lemon juice, hot honey, red pepper flakes, truffle oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and spreadable. Taste and adjust seasoning (add more honey or lemon as desired). Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of the roasted garlic ricotta mixture on the inside of each sourdough slice. On the bottom slices, add shredded mozzarella, then layer prosciutto and dollops of stracciatella. Drizzle with a little hot honey and sprinkle with more red pepper flakes. Top with the other slice of bread (ricotta side facing in). Grill the sandwiches: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Butter the outsides of the bread generously or oil your pan.

But the real star of this sandwich is the roasted garlic ricotta. God I wish I could bottle it. You have the tangy richness from roast garlic, brightness from that lemon zest, and heat from the hot honey and red pepper flakes. It’s everything you love about white pizza, reimagined between two golden slices of bread. sandwiches, pizza Previous Recipe Next Recipe Let's Connect!

Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits make me Ingredients Serving Size: 12 biscuits 3 cups all-purpose flour 4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 cup graulated sugar 1/2 stick cold unsalted butter, grated 1 and 1/4 cup buttermilk 1 egg, whisked with 2 tbsp whole milk (for brushing) Instructions Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt until well combined. Add the cold, grated butter into the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. You should still see little chunks of butter throughout the mixture. Slowly pour the wet ingredients (buttermilk and whole milk) into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – the dough should be slightly lumpy. 3. Form the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle (about 1-inch thick). Fold the dough over itself a couple of times (about 3 folds). This helps create flaky layers in your biscuits. Add more flour if necessary. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass (about 2-3 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down, don’t twist the cutter, to ensure the biscuits rise properly. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. 4. Brush with Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 2 tbsp of whole milk. Brush the tops of each biscuit with the egg wash for a golden finish. 5. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top. Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings! There's nothing quite like the warm, melt-in-your-mouth goodness of a freshly baked buttermilk biscuit. Soft, flaky, and perfectly golden on the outside, these biscuits are the ultimate comfort food. With just a few simple ingredients, including tangy buttermilk and a dash of butter, you'll be able to create a batch of biscuits that are irresistibly light and airy. Whether served alongside your favorite meal, slathered with jam, or topped with gravy, these fluffy buttermilk biscuits are sure to become a staple in your kitchen. breakfast, sandwiches, biscuit, buttermilk, bread Previous Recipe Next Recipe Let's Connect!

Heat a generous layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a rack or paper towel. 3. Toast the Bread I used a specific type of loaf, but if you have 2 slices of bread, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp butter to the pan and place one slice of bread on the skillet, top with 2 slices of provolone and then the other slice of bread. Flip and toast both sides to desired crunch. Remove from heat. 4.

Sear the Short Ribs : Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and generously season with salt and pepper. In a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and starting to brown. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Slow Cook : Braise the ribs in the oven for 2.5-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily falls off the bone. Check occasionally and add a bit of water or broth if the liquid level drops too much. Finish the Sauce : Once the ribs are done, remove them from the pot and set them aside, keeping them warm. Discard the bay leaves and herb sprigs. If desired, you can finish the sauce by simmering it on the stove over medium heat for 10-15 minutes to reduce and thicken. For an extra velvety finish, whisk in 1 tablespoon of butter. Serve : Serve the short ribs with the braising sauce poured over the top. These ribs pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes, polenta, or roasted vegetables. These Red Wine Braised Short Ribs are the epitome of comfort food, with melt-in-your-mouth meat that falls off the bone, bathed in a rich, aromatic sauce made from red wine, herbs, and vegetables.
