Classic Patty Melt Recipe

Try something different this week instead of your usual burger. A patty melt layers caramelized onions, swiss cheese and a perfectly thin burger patty on toasted bread. The caramelized onions make this patty melt. You’ll want to cook them slowly until the sugars breakdown. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar to help brighten the flavor. If you’d rather have an onion-free melt, use some vegetables like mushrooms or peppers instead. Prep time: 10 minsCook time: 40 minsTotal time: 50 minsServings: 2 sandwiches Ingredients 1 sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons butter, divided 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 8 ounces 90/10 ground beef 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 4 slices sandwich bread 4 slices Swiss cheese Mustard, optional Directions Cook the onions: In a large cast-iron skillet set over medium to medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sliced onions. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, for about 25 minutes until they are a deep brown color. If the onions are burning on spots, you might need to turn your heat down to medium-low.Near the end of cooking (about 5 minutes), add apple cider vinegar and stir to combine. Then remove from the skillet. Cook the patties: Shape ground beef into two thin 4-ounce patties that are roughly the shape of your bread. Season patties with salt and pepper.When onions are done in your skillet, set the heat to medium-high and add the patties. Cook for 3 minutes per side. If your patties are thin, that should be enough time to cook them through. Remove patties when done. Butter your bread: Wipe your skillet clean and add the last tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once the butter melts, add all the bread slices to the skillet, so one side of each slice is coated with butter. Remove two of the four pieces of bread and start building your sandwich on the two pieces remaining in the skillet (you can also do this one at a time depending on the size of your skillet). Build your sandwiches in the skillet: On each slice of bread remaining in the skillet, add a slice of Swiss cheese, a patty, half of the caramelized onions, and top with the second slice of Swiss cheese. Top each sandwich with the slice of bread removed from the skillet earlier, buttered side up. Cook the sandwiches: Over medium-low heat, cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. Serve: Slice sandwiches in half and serve immediately while warm. Source: Simply Recipes

Make the filling: Stir the beans, mild green chiles, and cilantro into the eggs in the pan. Assemble the quesadillas: On one-half of each tortilla, spread about 1/2 cup of the filling.

To serve: Enjoy with salsa, if you like.TO FREEZE: Line a baking sheet that will fit in your freezer with parchment paper or waxed paper. Spread as many assembled quesadillas as will fit on the baking sheet, top with a layer of paper, and add a second layer.Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and freeze until firm, about 3 hours. Transfer the frozen quesadillas to plastic freezer bags, stacking them between small pieces of parchment or waxed paper. Store for up to 2 months.TO REHEAT: Remove as many quesadillas as you like from the freezer. Spread on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 2 minutes to partially defrost them.

Ghost Cookies Recipe

Bring the Halloween spirit home with this classic treat that the entire family will enjoy. Ghost cookies are cut-out sugar cookies made with buttery, vanilla-scented sugar cookie dough and a smooth royal icing. They’re easy to pull off at home and have plenty of opportunity to customize to your liking. You’ll want to use the pipe-and-flood method which starts with a thick border icing, followed by a thinner flood icing leaving the cookies with a smooth finish. Yield: Makes 4 dozen cookiesPrep time: 1 hour 41 minutes to 1 hour 48 minutesCook time: 16 minutes to 20 minutes Ingredients For the cookies: 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter 2 ounces cream cheese 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1 large egg 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract For the icing: 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar (1 pound), plus more as needed 4 large pasteurized egg whites, or 1/2 cup liquid egg whites 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Black food coloring Make the Cookies: Place 2 sticks unsalted butter and 2 ounces cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer (or large bowl if using an electric hand mixer). Let sit at room temperature until softened, about 1 hour. Place 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add 1 cup granulated sugar to the butter. Attach the paddle attachment and mix briefly on low speed to combine, then increase speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add 1 large egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the flour mixture and beat until just combined and a soft dough is formed, about 1 minute. Divide the dough in half. Shape each piece of dough into a rectangle and lightly dust with flour. Place each rectangle between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll until 1/8-inch thick. Place each piece of rolled dough, still in the parchment, on a baking sheet (they can stack on the same baking sheet). Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. Arrange 2 racks to divide the oven into thirds and heat the oven to 350°F. Remove the top sheet of parchment from each piece of dough, and use them to line 2 rimmed baking sheets. Use a 3-inch ghost cookie cutter to make as many cut-outs as possible. Using a thin metal spatula, transfer the cookies the baking sheets, spacing them about 1/2-inch apart, 12 to 16 cookies per baking sheet. The cookies will not spread as they bake. Bake until set and barely golden around the edges, 8 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, gather and reroll out the dough scraps and cut out more cookies. Repeat the process until all the dough is used. The dough is best cut when it is firm, so you may have to return it to the refrigerator before cutting more shapes. Make the icing: Sift 3 1/2 cups (1 pound) powdered sugar through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl. If any lumps remain, use your fingers to break them up and push them through the strainer. Place 4 large pasteurized egg whites or 1/2 cup liquid egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer (or large bowl if using an electric hand mixer). Beat with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until foamy, doubled in volume, and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the mixer off and add half of the powdered sugar. Mix on low speed until the powdered sugar is completely dissolved and no large lumps remain, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining powdered sugar and continue mixing until completely dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes more. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until the icing is completely smooth, glossy, and slightly thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. The icing should hold a soft peak and slowly run off of the whisk attachment. If the icing is too loose, add more powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, and continue mixing until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Transfer 1/2 cup of the icing to a small bowl. Mix in black food coloring until the desired shade is achieved. If necessary, add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, for a thicker consistency. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the black icing to keep it from drying. Transfer about a third of the remaining icing to a piping bag with a small round tip or squeeze bottle. This will be used as the border icing. The remaining icing in the stand mixer will be used as the flood icing. To thin, add water in 1-teaspoon increments, stirring between each, until a pourable consistency is reached, 4 to 6 teaspoons. Transfer the flood icing to a piping bag or squeeze bottle. Decorate the cookies: Place the cooled cookies on parchment paper. Begin with the border icing and trace the outline of each cookie with icing. Let the border icing dry for a few minutes. Use the flood icing to fill the center of the cookies. Use a toothpick to pop any air bubbles and push the icing into corners and against the edges of the border. Let cookies dry for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, transfer the black icing to a piping bag with a small round tip. Pipe the eyes and mouth onto the cookies with the black icing. Let the cookies sit undisturbed for at least 24 hours for the icing to fully dry. Source: the Kitchn
