Popovers
These are a family favorite and easy to make. I serve it with mostly beef dishes like beef roast or steaks. Follow the recipe exactly. I recommend using ceramic or porcelain custard cups. If you do not have custard cups or a Popover pan, you can make this as Yorkshire Pudding and pour into a medium well lubricated baking pan.
Ingredients:
Cooking Spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups whole milk, at room temperature (Not Low Fat!!!)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Spray popover pans or custard cups cooking spray.
- You'll need enough pans to make 10 - 12 popovers.
- Place the pans in the oven for 2 minutes to preheat.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin.
- Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes.

Chicken Cordon Bleu
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Gregg Fry
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts skinless and boneless
4 thin slices Prosciutto di Parma
1/2 pound Gruyere, grated
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs
Extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Lay the chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap.
3. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.
4. Remove the top sheet of plastic and lay 2 slices of prosciutto neatly over the top to cover the breast and sprinkle a quarter of the cheese over the prosciutto.
5. Tuck in the sides of the breast and roll up tight like a jellyroll inside the plastic wrap.
6. Squeeze the log gently to seal and twist both ends tight to form a nice log.
7. Repeat with remaining chicken.
8. Season the flour with salt and pepper.
9. Mix the bread crumbs with thyme, garlic and kosher salt, pepper, and melted butter. The butter will help the crust brown.
10. Beat together the eggs and season so the flour, the eggs and the crumbs are all seasoned.
11. Remove the plastic wrap.
12. Lightly dust the chicken with flour, dip in the egg mixture and gently coat in the bread crumbs.
13. Lightly coat a baking pan with olive oil and carefully transfer the roulades onto it. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until browned and cooked through.
