Baked Schloss Cheese with Melted White Wine Onions

October 25, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Baked Schloss Cheese with Melted White Wine Onions is an addictive combination; Schloss is aromatic and rich with a nutty, sweet flavor, the perfect complement to the subtle tang of onions cooked down in butter and white wine.

I never actually thought I’d be one of those people. You know the ones I mean; the people who actually believe that when it comes to cheese, the stinkier the better. But somehow, without me even realizing what was happening, I was converted.

I remember my first foray into the world of pungent cheeses. It was with an Époisses de Bourgogne I had in New York City. The cheesemonger really talked it up, calling it the “King of Cheese” and describing it as lusciously creamy with a sweet and salty flavor…of course if you could get past its strong odor. (I’ve heard it’s been banned on public transportation in France!) One bite and I was hooked.

My first Raclette experience in the cellar of a wine and cheese restaurant in Paris was equally unforgettable. Let’s just say that Raclette melted over steamed new potatoes is bliss and the odor (which I’ve heard compared to “stinky feet” and worse) didn’t bother me one bit.

I can always go for a good sharp-smelling blue cheese of any variety, which I mostly attribute to being from Buffalo (the land of chicken wings, which are always served with blue cheese dressing, and if you’re lucky, it’ll even have chunks of blue cheese). I laugh in the face of so-called mushroomy Camembert (which I love paired with sweet apples), and I find that the pungency of Alsatian Munster makes a mighty fine grilled cheese.

I can’t say I’ve had the pleasure of trying Limburger, but given the opportunity, I certainly would, which is why I was all for trying another cheese with a formidable reputation: Schloss! The rumors were true; this cheese has quite a strong aroma. Past the outer rind, the flavor is delectable; creamy and smooth-textured, with robust flavor notes of toasted nuts and caramel.

Inspired by an Austrian-style washed-rind cheese, Marin French Cheese has been making Schloss since the early 1900’s. There’s a loyal fan base of this cheese, and I now consider myself part of that group; the more complex the cheese, the more I find myself craving it. Marin French recommends pairing it with hearty California red wines, aromatic whites, or dark beer.

I kept the flavors in this recipe simple. The lovely orange-hued round of Schloss is baked until it is gooey and fondue-like inside. Onions are melted down in butter and seasoned simply with salt, black pepper, a little white wine for acidity, and fresh thyme for brightness. Combine the two with crusty baguette and you have a treat that you won’t soon forget. It makes a delicious appetizer for fall entertaining, and it would be a great way to start a holiday meal.

Have you tried a stinky cheese, and if so, which one(s)?

Baked Schloss Cheese with Melted White Wine Onions
Prep time:  5 mins
Cook time:  25 mins
Total time:  30 mins
Yield: 8 servings
 
Baked Schloss Cheese with Melted White Wine Onions is an addictive combination; Schloss is aromatic and rich with a nutty, sweet flavor, the perfect complement to the subtle tang of onions cooked down in butter and white wine.
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 small yellow onions, peeled and sliced
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) dry white wine
  • 1 (8 oz/226 g) wheel of Schloss cheese
  • Fresh thyme
  • 1 baguette, sliced
Instructions
  1. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion, salt, and black pepper and cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine and cook until the liquid is evaporated and the onions are softened but not yet starting to caramelize, about 6 to 8 minutes more, stirring occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F. Remove the Schloss from its plastic packaging and place it into the wooden box it came in; place this on a baking tray. Bake until the cheese starts to bubble around the outside, about 12 minutes.
  3. To serve, add a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves to the top of the onions. Serve the cheese and onions along with sliced baguette.

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️
