Spicy droplets with pleasant nut-and-carrot notes are perfect for a buffet snack. A gourmet snack can be made from any plastic cheese.
It is necessary
- For a cheese snack:
- - 200 g of dried apricots;
- - 96 g of Mimolet cheese (here Bio-Rueblikaese carrot);
- - 80 g of Philadelphia cheese (here creamy Almette);
- For the sauce:
- - 100 g of sugar;
- - 300 g of orange juice;
- For decoration:
- - 64 g of fried caramelized hazelnuts;
Instructions
Step 1
Make orange sauce. Juice the oranges and combine with sugar. Putting on fire, boil to 160 ml, remove from heat and cool.
Step 2
Prepare caramelized hazelnuts. Cook a light golden caramel with 1 part water and 3 parts sugar and cook until light golden brown. Then cool slightly by immersing the container with caramel in ice water for a few seconds. When the caramel becomes stringy, dip the hazelnut kernels strung on wooden skewers into it.
Step 3
Having fixed skewers with nuts horizontally, for example, by sticking them into a stack of books, and leave the caramel to solidify at room temperature. Remove the nuts from the skewers before serving.
Step 4
For the filling, soak dried apricots in warm water for 2 hours. Cut dried apricots into small cubes 2 * 2 mm in size, combine with curd cheese.
Step 5
Collect the snack. Cut the cheese slices into 3 g rectangles. Fill a pastry syringe with a round tip with the filling and divide the mass into 9 g portions.
Step 6
Wrap the filling with rectangular slices of cheese, giving the shape of a drop. Place cheese drops in a tasting spoon, pour over the sauce and garnish with caramelized hazelnuts.
