Ingredients

• -1 sheet of puff pastry, thawe
• -1 pound (450g) of ground sausage (or pre-cooked sausages
• -1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
• -1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or oregano)
• -1 teaspoon garlic powder
• -1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional topping)

Flour (for dusting)

Instructions

1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pastry from sticking and set aside.
2. 
   
3. If you’re using ground sausage, heat a pan over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked through.
4. If using pre-cooked sausages, chop them into small pieces.
5. Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
6. Stir in the shredded cheese, Italian herbs, and garlic powder, mixing until everything is evenly combined.
7. Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Make sure it’s large enough to fold over the filling without it spilling out.
8. Spread the sausage and cheese mixture evenly down the center of the pastry, leaving a little space on the edges for folding
9. Fold the sides of the pastry over the filling, and then carefully roll it into a log shape, sealing the edges as you go.
10. Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish, and sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top if desired.
11. Place the pastry onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
12. 
    
13. How to Make
14. 
    
15. To begin, ensure your puff pastry is completely thawed before using it. This ensures it rolls out easily and doesn’t tear when you add the filling.
16. While the sausage is cooking, it’s helpful to prepare your filling ingredients so you can assemble everything quickly.
17. You can even make the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge.
18. For a crispy exterior, brush the pastry with an egg wash before baking.
19. This step creates a beautiful golden-brown crust and adds an extra shine to the pastry.
20. If you want to add more flavor.
21. consider incorporating finely chopped onions, peppers, or even spinach into the sausage mixture.
22. Make sure the sausage mixture is not too wet when spreading it on the pastry, as excess moisture could cause the pastry to become soggy.
23. To ensure even cooking, slice the pastry roll into even sections before serving, which also helps with presentation.
24. If you prefer bite-sized portions, you can cut the pastry into smaller pieces before baking, creating sausage and cheese pinwheels instead of a whole roll.
25. 
    
26. Tips
27. 
    
28. Using a high-quality puff pastry will significantly improve the texture and flavor of your dish. Look for a butter-based puff pastry for the best results.
29. If you don’t have an egg for the egg wash, you can use a tablespoon of milk or cream as a substitute.
30. For extra flavor, add a bit of hot sauce or mustard to the sausage filling. The spicy kick pairs well with the richness of the cheese and sausage.
31. When choosing your cheese, try using a blend of cheddar and mozzarella for a perfect combination of sharpness and meltiness.
32. Don’t overstuff the pastry with filling, as this can make it difficult to seal and could lead to spillage while baking.
33. If you want to prepare this dish ahead of time, you can assemble the pastry and refrigerate it for up to a day before baking.
34. Just make sure to let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before baking.
35. Experiment with other herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to give the filling a more distinct flavor that complements the sausage and cheese.

Easy Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries

 

Ingredients

18-24 large strawberries – Look for ripe, firm strawberries that can hold the filling well.

1 cup heavy whipping cream – For a light, fluffy texture.

8 oz cream cheese, softened – Regular cream cheese works best for a rich, smooth filling.

1/3 cup sour cream – Adds a touch of tanginess.

2/3 cup white granulated sugar – Balances the tart flavors.

1 tsp vanilla extract – Use pure vanilla for the best flavor.

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional) – Adds brightness.

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs – Adds texture and a “crust” feel; find creative ways to use graham crackers here.

Optional Variations

Chocolate drizzle for extra decadence.

Fresh mint leaves for garnish.

Equipment

Piping bag with a star tip for decorative presentation.

Melon baller for hollowing out strawberries to hold the filling.

Step-by-Step Preparation Guide

Prepping the Strawberries

Select strawberries that are large and firm, as they will hold the filling better. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry to ensure the filling adheres properly.

Cut off the stems to create a flat base so the strawberries can stand upright.

Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise and then use a melon baller to carefully hollow out a small indentation in each half. This ensures the cream cheese filling will sit securely without slipping.

Making the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes). Properly whipped cream adds volume to the filling, giving it a light, airy texture.

In a separate bowl, blend softened cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (optional) until smooth. For tips on achieving the perfect whipped cream consistency, explore this guide to whipping cream.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring it is fully incorporated for a fluffy, creamy filling.

Piping and Finishing Touches

Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag with a star tip, which allows for a decorative touch when piping. Carefully pipe a swirl of filling into the hollowed-out center of each strawberry half.

For the final touch, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top of each filled strawberry. This adds a slight crunch and a hint of traditional cheesecake crust flavor. If you’re curious about creative ways to use graham cracker crumbs, check out this graham cracker recipe collection.

These steps will help you achieve visually appealing and delicious cheesecake deviled strawberries perfect for any occasion!

Strawberry Shortcake Crumble Topping Variation

Adding a strawberry shortcake crumble topping is a delicious way to enhance the flavor and texture of cheesecake deviled strawberries or any dessert. This easy-to-make crumble combines sweet, buttery notes with a hint of strawberry that complements the creamy filling perfectly.

Ingredients

1 pack of Golden Oreos, crushed – These cookies add a light, sweet crunch.

3 tablespoons melted butter – Helps bind the crumble and adds richness.

1 packet strawberry gelatin mix (3 oz) – Infuses the crumble with a fruity, strawberry flavor.

1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed – Enhances the strawberry taste and adds a pop of color.

Instructions

Prepare the Crumble: In a mixing bowl, combine crushed Golden Oreos, melted butter, strawberry gelatin mix, and freeze-dried strawberries. Mix until all ingredients are well-coated and have a crumbly texture.

Bake: Spread the crumble mixture on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 7-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely for the best crunch.

Using the Crumble

Once prepared, sprinkle the strawberry shortcake crumble over cheesecake deviled strawberries for a layered, fruity flavor. This crumble also works well as a topping for vanilla ice cream, cupcakes, or traditional strawberry shortcake. For more ideas on dessert toppings, check out creative graham cracker uses.

Tips for the Best Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries

To make the most delicious cheesecake deviled strawberries, consider these essential tips:

Choosing Strawberries: Select large, firm, and ripe strawberries for the best flavor and stability. Look for berries that are bright red and have no soft spots.

Perfect Filling Consistency: To achieve a smooth, fluffy filling, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks separately, then fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture to avoid deflating it.

Presentation and Serving: Use a piping bag with a star tip to create beautiful swirls when filling each strawberry. This not only adds a professional touch but also helps the filling stay in place. For extra elegance, add a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs on top or even a strawberry shortcake crumble. These presentation tips ensure your strawberries are a hit at any gathering!

Creative Variations and Flavor Options

Explore exciting twists on cheesecake deviled strawberries to make this dessert even more unique and flavorful. Here are a few ideas to elevate these treats:

Chocolate-Dipped Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries: For added richness, dip the base of each strawberry half in melted dark or milk chocolate and let it harden before piping in the cheesecake filling. This variation not only adds a layer of decadent flavor but also makes for a visually appealing presentation. Dipped strawberries hold well, making them a great choice for parties and special events.

Adding Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like mint or basil can give a surprising twist. Finely chop a few leaves and add them to the cheesecake filling or use as a garnish on top of each strawberry. The herbs enhance the strawberry’s natural flavors, making this variation perfect for summer gatherings or outdoor parties.

Experimenting with Spices and Flavor Extracts: Try adding a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a splash of almond extract to the filling for a more complex flavor profile. Mint extract is another option that pairs beautifully with strawberries and can provide a refreshing touch. For those who enjoy a more tropical flavor, a drop of coconut extract can turn these into a unique treat with a summery feel.

These creative variations bring a new depth to the classic cheesecake deviled strawberry recipe, allowing you to personalize the flavor to suit any occasion or taste preference!

Conclusion and Final Serving Tips

Cheesecake deviled strawberries are the perfect blend of creamy, sweet, and fresh flavors, making them an ideal dessert for any occasion.

1/4 cup of cornstarch

1/4 of a teaspoon of salt

2 cups of full-fat milk

3 egg yolks from big eggs

Ingredients

For the Tortellini:

1 lb cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Cheesesteak Filling:

1 lb thinly sliced beef steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Provolone Sauce:

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

1 cup shredded provolone cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Cook the Tortellini:

Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling:

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef, onion, and green pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Make the Provolone Sauce:

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a roux. Gradually add milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low and stir in shredded provolone cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine and Serve:

Combine the cooked tortellini, cheesesteak filling, and provolone sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to coat the tortellini and filling evenly with the sauce. Heat through, then serve immediately, garnished with additional provolone if desired.

Variations

Vegetarian Option: Replace the beef with sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions to create a vegetarian version. You can use a meat substitute if you prefer.

Different Cheeses: Experiment with cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of cheeses for a different flavor profile.

Spicy Kick: Add a touch of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the sauce for a bit of heat.

Creamy Alternatives: For a lighter version, use half-and-half or non-dairy milk to make a lighter sauce.

Additional Veggies: Incorporate vegetables like spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or roasted red peppers for extra texture and flavor.

Tips

Cooking the Beef: Ensure the beef is thinly sliced for an authentic cheesesteak experience. Sauté it quickly over high heat to retain its tenderness.

Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole

Do you need an easy solution for a filling breakfast? This crescent roll breakfast casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the oven in the morning. Loaded with sausage, eggs, cheese, and buttery crescent rolls, this simple-to-make breakfast makes any day feel special!

Easy Breakfast Casserole

I’m back with another super easy make-ahead breakfast recipe! This recipe for crescent roll breakfast casserole is quick to prepare and perfect for serving to a crowd for a Christmas morning breakfast, or to your family as a hearty weekday breakfast.

If you’ve visited here before, you probably know that I’m no stranger to easy breakfast casseroles! I just love how everything bakes up in one dish. My make-ahead breakfast casserole, hashbrown breakfast casserole and tater tot breakfast casserole are among my favorites! We even love this enchilada breakfast casserole for a change.

This crescent roll breakfast casserole starts with a tube of refrigerated crescent roll dough. You know the kind – it comes in a cardboard tube that you pop open. I usually have a tube or two hanging around in my fridge and I often use them for making my sausage breakfast pizza.

Next, you layer on some cooked crumbled sausage, cheese, and eggs. At this point, you can store the unbaked casserole in the fridge to bake in the morning or you can bake everything for about 35 minutes. Easy peasy!

Why This Recipe Works

Customizable. The great thing about this recipe, in addition to being able to make it ahead, is that you can also customize it to your tastes. Don’t like sausage? Try bacon instead. Want to add more veggies to your diet? Throw in what you have in the fridge. Keep reading to learn about some more variation ideas.

Taste and texture. The crescent roll dough puffs up as it bakes and absorbs some of the egg mixture to make a deliciously light and fluffy texture. Each mouthful is full of tasty sausage, buttery eggs and crescent rolls, and gooey cheese. It doesn’t get any better!

An anytime meal. Enjoy it on Christmas morning or Sunday brunch. Bring leftovers in your lunch the next day or have breakfast for dinner one night!

Recipe Ingredients

All of the ingredients are pretty straightforward for this recipe and you should be able to find them easily in most grocery stores.

Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.

Refrigerated crescent rolls: These are the ones that come in a tube. They usually have precut perforations on the dough that let you easily tear it apart to make crescent rolls. You can find these rolls in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, often near dairy products.

Breakfast sausage: My family loves the mild flavor of breakfast sausage, but feel free to use any variety of sausage that you like. 

Eggs: You need 8 large eggs for this recipe, which sounds like a lot, but the casserole is very hearty and filling, so it goes a long way.

Cheese: I use cheddar cheese with some Monterey jack for added flavor. Shredded cheese is always better when you grate it yourself.

Variations

Don’t you love when you can take a recipe and mix it up a little? Not only does it mean you can customize it to your tastes, but you can also use up ingredients you have on hand to make the recipe your own!

Here are some ideas for variations to get you started:

For a different flavor, you can use sage sausage and Gruyere cheese.

Use biscuits instead of crescents like I do in breakfast casserole with biscuits!

You can use all cheddar or even substitute it with mozzarella cheese if you prefer.

Swap the pork sausage for diced baked ham or bacon crumbles. 

For a little kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce and red pepper flakes with the eggs. 

Add in some sauteed vegetables such as onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms.

Sprinkle some chopped green onions over the casserole for a hint of green.

Add some chopped fresh herbs for a fresh flavor.

How to Make Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole

Follow these easy instructions to make this delicious sausage crescent roll breakfast casserole!

Unroll crescent dough. Open up your tube of refrigerated crescent dough and press it into a greased baking dish. Remember to press the perforated edges together with your finger until the dough is as smooth as you can get it.

Cook sausage. Add your sausage to a skillet and cook until it’s browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate while you make the egg mixture.

Whisk eggs. Add the eggs to a large bowl and whisk as if you were making scrambled eggs. Add the milk and seasoning and whisk some more.

Assemble. Sprinkle the sausage over the dough, then the cheese in an even layer, and finally pour the egg mixture over the top of everything.

Bake. It takes 35 – 40 minutes at 375°F for the casserole to bake completely. Please let the casserole cool slightly before serving!

Expert Tips

Top browning too quickly? If it looks like the top of the casserole is browning too much before the middle of your casserole is cooked, cover the dish with aluminum foil while it continues to bake.

Drain the sausage. Don’t skip this step or you’ll end up with a greasy casserole. Line a plate with a paper towel and spoon the cooked sausage on top. The paper towel will absorb any additional grease.

Smooth out the crescent roll dough. Unrolled crescent roll dough has perforations in it that you normally use to tear the crescents apart. Press these perforations together with your finger to make the dough one smooth piece.

Grease the baking dish. Be sure to spray it with cooking spray. For easing slicing and serving, you want to create a nonstick surface so that once it is sliced, it comes out of the pan without falling apart.

Amish Hamburger Steak Bake

 

Ingredients:

For the Hamburger Steak:

1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for flavor and juiciness)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup bread crumbs (or crushed crackers)

1 large egg

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Gravy:

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or use cream of chicken if preferred)

1/2 cup beef broth (or water)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional, for extra depth of flavor)

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Topping:

4 cups mashed potatoes (prepared ahead of time, see note below)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Make the Hamburger Steaks:

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.

Mix the ingredients together until well combined, but don’t overmix.

Form the mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on the size you prefer.

Brown the Hamburger Steaks:

In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil or butter over medium heat.

Cook the hamburger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. (They will continue to cook in the oven, so don’t worry about them being fully done in the skillet.)

Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the Gravy:

In the same skillet, add the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.

Simmer the gravy on low heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assemble the Bake:

In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread the prepared mashed potatoes evenly across the bottom of the dish.

Place the browned hamburger steaks on top of the mashed potatoes.

Pour the prepared gravy over the top of the patties.

Bake:

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.

After 25-30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to let the gravy thicken slightly and to get a nice golden top on the mashed potatoes.

Serve:

Once done, let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with a little fresh parsley if desired.

Notes:

Mashed Potatoes: You can use leftover mashed potatoes or make fresh mashed potatoes ahead of time. For a shortcut, you can even use store-bought mashed potatoes or instant mashed potatoes.

Variations: If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can add a tablespoon of flour to the gravy mixture before simmering it. Just whisk it in and cook for a few minutes to thicken.

Tips:

For extra flavor, you can sauté the onions in a bit of butter before adding them to the hamburger steak mixture.

If you like a cheesy version, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the mashed potatoes before baking.

This Amish Hamburger Steak Bake is comfort food at its best! It’s simple to prepare, filling, and packed with savory flavor. Perfect for a cozy family meal!

The Key To The Ideal Pastry Cream

 

Pastry Cream Secret Recipe

Pastry cream, also known as crème pâtissière, is a luscious and versatile custard that forms the foundation of countless desserts. Whether used to fill éclairs, tarts, or layer cakes, this silky-smooth cream adds a touch of indulgence to every bite. Our secret recipe ensures a velvety texture and a flavor that will elevate your homemade treats to professional bakery quality.

The Origins of Pastry Cream

Dating back centuries, pastry cream has been a staple in French patisserie. Its rich, creamy consistency and adaptability made it an essential component of European desserts. Over time, this classic custard has gained global popularity, being incorporated into everything from traditional cream puffs to modern fusion desserts.

Ingredients 

for the Perfect Pastry Cream

Essential Ingredients

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup granulated sugar (divided into two portions)

5 large egg yolks

1/4 cup cornstarch

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

Optional Flavor Enhancements

1 teaspoon almond extract (for a nutty twist)

1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for a chocolate variation)

1 teaspoon orange zest (for a citrusy note)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Heat the Milk

Combine milk and sugar. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk with half of the granulated sugar. This prevents the milk from scorching.

Heat gently. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the milk mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Once tiny bubbles form around the edges, remove it from the heat.

Step 2: Whisk the Egg Mixture

Prepare the egg yolks. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients. Gradually whisk in the remaining sugar, cornstarch, and salt. The mixture should be thick and pale.

Temper the eggs. Slowly pour a ladle of the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. This process prevents the eggs from curdling.

Step 3: Cook the Pastry Cream

Combine and heat. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk.

Cook until thickened. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly. The cream will begin to thicken after a few minutes. Ensure it reaches a pudding-like consistency.

Remove from heat. Once thickened, take the saucepan off the stove.

Step 4: Add Butter and Flavoring

Incorporate butter. Stir in the softened butter, one tablespoon at a time, until fully melted and integrated.

Add the vanilla. Mix in the vanilla extract, or substitute with your chosen flavor enhancements for a unique twist.

Step 5: Strain and Chill

Strain for smoothness. Pass the pastry cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.

Cover and cool. Cover the cream with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

Using Pastry Cream in Desserts

Éclairs and Cream Puffs: Pipe chilled pastry cream into pre-baked choux pastry shells.

Fruit Tarts: Spread a layer of pastry cream into a pre-baked tart shell, topping it with fresh fruit.

Layer Cakes: Use as a filling between cake layers for an indulgent treat.

Danish Pastries: Dollop into the center of unbaked pastries before baking for a creamy finish.

Storage Tips for Pastry Cream

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freeze: While freezing is not recommended for standalone pastry cream, it can be frozen when incorporated into baked goods.

Troubleshooting Pastry Cream

Lumpy Texture: Strain the cream to remove lumps. Consistent whisking during cooking helps avoid this issue.

Runny Cream: Cook longer until the desired consistency is reached. Be patient, as the thickening process requires time.

Skin Formation: Always cover the surface with plastic wrap during cooling to prevent this
