Parmesan Puffs
Despite not having a photo, I wanted to share with you a recipe for Parmesan Puffs. A puff is has a layer of bread soaked in egg mixture in the middle with the surrounding layers rolled in melted butter and parmesan cheese. My mom and I absolutely LOVE these, but the rest of our family won’t eat them…my dad hates all cheese, my sister is extremely health conscious, and my husband is not a big bread eater. Whether you make these or not is completely up to you…I strongly recommend it. They freeze well and when I want one, I just pop it into the oven for 20 minutes.
Parmesan Puffs
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk
- 9 slices firm white bread, crusts removed (I like Pepperidge Farm)
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1½ cups grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Beat egg and milk together in a small dish. Soak 3 slices of bread in milk mixture, then place each between 2 slices of fresh bread. (This creates 3 "sandwiches" with the soaked bread in the center of each).
- Press gently on the top of each sandwich to be sure slices stick together.
- Cut each sandwich into 3-4 pieces.
- Roll each piece in melted butter, then in parmesan.
- Place on cookie sheet and chill at least 4 hours. (Can be frozen at this point. Leave on cookie sheet until frozen, then store in plastic bags).
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until very lightly browned. Roll the puffs every 5 minutes so they brown more evenly. Add 5 minutes if frozen.
