Savory Two-Cheese Biscotti

Savory biscotti are great for dipping into chili. Make these a couple
days ahead, and store in an airtight container.

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded extrasharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 cup fat-free milk
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 large eggs
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350 .
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through pepper) in a large bowl.
Combine milk, oil, and eggs; stir with a whisk. Add milk mixture to
flour mixture, stirring until well blended (dough will be dry and
crumbly). Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8 times.
Divide dough in half. Shape each portion into an 8-inch-long roll.
Place rolls, 6 inches apart, on a baking sheet coated with cooking
spray; flatten to 1-inch thickness. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Remove from baking sheet; cool 10 minutes on wire rack.

Reduce oven temperature to 325 .

Cut each roll diagonally into 12 (2/3-inch) slices. Place slices, cut
sides down, on baking sheet. Bake at 325 for 10 minutes. Turn
biscotti over; bake an additional 10 minutes (biscotti will be slightly
soft in center but will harden as they cool). Remove from baking sheet;
cool completely on wire rack.

Yield: 2 dozen (serving size: 1 biscotto)

Blue Cheese, Port and Walnut Biscotti

Blue cheese, port and walnuts are wonderful served together, so why not
a biscotti with the same flavours. Serve with a spread or with soup.

1/4 cup butter (50 mL)
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (125 mL)
2 cups all-purpose flour (500 mL)
2 tsp baking powder (10 mL)
1/2 tsp salt (2 mL)
1/2 tsp black pepper (2 mL)
2 eggs
2 Tbsp granulated sugar (25 mL)
2 Tbsp port wine (25 mL)
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts (125 mL)

In small microwavable bowl, melt butter at high 30 to 60 seconds. Stir
in crumbled blue cheese and stir until mixture is blended (if
necessary, microwave for 20 to 30 seconds).

In bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.

In large bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Stir in butter-cheese mixture and
port until smooth. Stir dry ingredients into egg mixture until blended.
Stir in nuts.
Divide dough into 2 pieces and shape (if sticky, lightly flour hands)
each into a log about 10 inches (25 cm) long. Place about 4 inches (10
cm) apart on Chefs Select Parchment Paper lined cookie sheet. Flatten
tops slightly.
Bake in preheated 325 F (160 C) oven for 30 minutes or until pale
golden and not quite firm to the touch.

Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes. Transfer
to cutting board and slice into 1/2 inch (1 cm) diagonal slices with
serrated knife.
Place pieces on baking sheet and return to 325 F (160 C) oven for 20
to 25 minutes or until firm and dry. Turn over partway through cooking
time. Cool on rack.

Makes about 3 dozen. Store in airtight container or freeze.

Biscotti alla Parmigiana

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup softened unsalted butter
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Pinch sea salt

In a bowl of a food processor add flour, butter, Parmesan cheese,
rosemary and salt. Pulse until crumbly, but sticks together when
pressed with fingers. Pour onto a floured pastry board and gather into
a ball. Cover it with plastic wrap and allow dough to rest in
refrigerator for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove dough from the refrigerator and allow it to warm slightly, about
10 minutes. Place rested dough on a lightly floured pastry board and
roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat
or parchment paper. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out circles and
place them on the baking sheet, 1-inch apart. Gather dough scraps into
a ball. Roll out leftover dough and cut additional circles. Continue
until all the dough is used. If the dough becomes too soft and the
butter starts to melt, place it back into the refrigerator to firm up
again.
Place in oven and bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown

Zest of 1 orange
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup milk
1 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon fresh thyme

Preheat oven to 350 .

In a medium bowl, place flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper

In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, eggs, and milk. Add
this to the flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together. Add
the cranberries, orange zest and thyme and work into the dough.

Divide the dough into thirds and form into logs measuring 1 1/2 inches

oven. Bake for about 30 minutes, turning the cookies over after 15
minutes to insure even browning. Cool and serve along with the Roasted
