January 3rd, 2010 (Goat Cheesecake)




Planning for new restaurant. Kitchen should be done this week (if all the equipment arrives) and we should be cooking next week! It's been a long time since the Mott, I'm excited to start working again. One idea is for a Goat Cheese "Cheese" Cake for dessert. Kind of a savory dish rather than sweet. SInce the rest of the deserts will be loaded with sugar, I think it will be nice to do something on the other side. Recipe:x8 small ramekins
Filling: 8 ounce Cream Cheese (soft), 8 ounces soft goat cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, 2LG eggs, 3TB Lemon Juice, 2tsp Salt, 3 cup Sour Cream, 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese(soft) and black pepper to taiste.
Whip cream cheese and goat cheese together, 4 minutes with paddle, add sugar and egg. Add lemon, salt, sour cream, fold in goat cheese.
For Crust: 1 cup almond, toasted and ground, 1/4 cup sun dried tomato, chopped, 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1 tsp black pepper, 1/2tsp salt, 2TB melted butter.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. process almond, tomato, cornmeal, pepper, salt and butter in processor till combined. Butter the insides of the ramekins. Bake in water bath for 30-50 minutes till just set. cool completly.
