Beignets de Fromage

from Slocum House 7992 California Avenue Fair Oaks 916.961.7211

For the Cheese Filling:

6oz Diced Brie
4oz Stilton Blue Cheese
1 Cup Toasted Chopped Walnuts

Combine all ingredients and mix well in KitchenAid type mixer. Divide into half ounce balls and freeze.

For the Dough:

4 Cups chopped French bread (Crust Removed)
2 Large Eggs
½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
2 Cups Whole Milk
Panko Bread Crumbs (as needed) at least 6 cups might be needed
Vegetable Oil For Frying

Combine bread crumbs, pepper, eggs and milk and set aside for a few minutes to allow bread to soften. Add approximately 1 cup of Panko and mix well. Let stand fro a few minutes to allow Panko to soak up liquid. Repeat this until a slightly firm yet tacky dough forms. Oil your hands with olive oil so dough doesn't stick to much. Form a circle the size of a silver dollar and about ¼ inch thick. Place a frozen cheese ball in the middle and form dough around the cheese ball. Immediately roll in remaining Panko to give a crispy coating when fried. Fry Beignets at 375 degrees until golden brown. And Serve with apple slices, toasted walnuts and red grapes for garnish.

For a great dipping sauce take a 750ml bottle of Port and reduce in down to about 3/4 cup or dill slightly thick and syrupy.
