In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Super Spinach Feta Quiche. This quiche uses a premade pie crust for simplicity, and it is filled with a great mixture of eggs, milk, butter, spinach and feta cheese. It bakes in the oven for a short time, making a quick and dramatic treat. Ingredients: 1 unbaked standard pie crust, rolled into a circle (I used a premade refrigerated pie crust, but you will find recipes for pie crusts in bettyskitchen, such as Plain Pie Crust.) 3 eggs, well-beaten 1 cup milk ¼ cup butter, melted 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper 9-oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained. (I used a paper towel to squeeze the spinach dry after draining.) 4-oz. crumbled feta cheese Place the unbaked pie crust in a quiche dish or a 9-inch pie plate, pressing until the edges of the pie crust come up the sides to the top. Flute the top edge, if desired. With a fork, prick bottom and sides of pie crust. Place the pie crust in a 400 degree (F) oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven and set aside. Reduce oven heat to 375 degrees (F). In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 well-beaten eggs, 1 cup milk, ¼ cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon white pepper.

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Grilled Ribeye Steak with Onion-Cheese Topping. The steaks are grilled on an outdoor grill and then topped with French fried onions and shredded cheese. They are returned to the grill for a short time to melt the cheese and blend the flavors. Ingredients: (2) 1-pound bone-in ribeye steaks Salt, to taste freshly ground black peppercorns, to taste 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil French fried onions (enough to cover the steaks in one layer) Shredded or chopped cheese of your choice (I used shredded cheddar on one steak and feta cheese on the other.) Remove steaks from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for about one-half hour. Salt on both sides, to taste. Grind fresh, black peppercorns on both sides, to taste. Spread both sides with olive oil (using about 2 tablespoons of olive oil). Place the two steaks on a hot grill and watch carefully as they cook, turning once with tongs, and checking occasionally for doneness. When steaks are done to your liking, place a layer of French fried onions in a single layer over the top of each steak. Over the onion rings, sprinkle a generous amount of cheese. (We used shredded cheddar on one steak and feta cheese on the other steak.) Let the steaks remain over heat for just a minute or so, until the cheese melts and the flavors are blended. Serve immediately! I served mine with Deep-Fried mashed Potato Balls, Basic Garlic Bread, steamed vegetables, Rebecca Ruth Style Bourbon

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Curried Chutney Cheese Spread. This is a mild, sweet spread composed of cream cheese, toasted almonds, chutney and curry powder. It is a nice departure from cheese spreads with sharp cheese and veggies. Ingredients: 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened to room temperature ½ cup toasted finely chopped almonds (I used slivered almonds. I chopped them in an electric kitchen chopper and toasted them in a small skillet on the stove in ½ tablespoon olive oil, stirring constantly.) ¼ cup chutney ½ teaspoon curry powder In a mixing bowl, mix together an 8-oz. package of softened cream cheese, ½ cup toasted finely chopped almonds, ¼ cup chutney, and ½ teaspoon curry powder. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until well-blended. Spoon mixture into a nice serving dish. Cover and chill for about 8 hours. Serve with dippers, such as apple slices, ginger snaps, and a variety of crackers. This cheese spread has a delicious taste, and you can make it diet-friendly by using fat-free cream cheese, and by serving it with apple and pear slices, and also some celery sticks! I hope you enjoy this recipe! –Betty ?

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Spicy Ham and Cheese Ball. It is very easy to make, and it is great as an appetizer or for taking to a party. Ingredients: (2) 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened (I used the fat free variety.) about 3 oz. thinly sliced cooked ham, chopped in small squares ¼ cup Italian salad dressing ¾ cup chopped pecans, spread in a single layer in a plate Crackers of various types, for serving In a large bowl, combine (2) 8-oz. packages softened cream cheese, 3 ounces sliced ham (chopped), and ¼ cup Italian salad dressing. Stir until all ingredients are well-mixed. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes—longer is better. Shape mixture into ball, using a large spoon and plastic wrap to cover your hands. Roll ball in ¾ cup chopped pecans. Serve with a variety of crackers. Enjoy! –Betty ?

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make an Edible Cheese Tray with Four Cheeses. This tray is made of puff pastry that has been seasoned with herbs and spices. This is a delightful way to serve fancy cheeses at a dinner party! Ingredients: 1 egg 2 teaspoons water 1 sheet puff pastry dough from a 17.3-oz. package, thawed 1 teaspoon seasoned black pepper, to taste (or seasoning of your choice) sprigs of rosemary and parsley (or any fresh or dried herbs that you like) about 4 varied types of cheese, presented in an interesting configuration (I used packaged pimiento cheese, muenster cheese, mozzarella medallions, and Dutch cheese with cumin seed.) In a small bowl, place 1 egg and 2 teaspoons water and beat well. Set aside. Unfold the thawed sheet of puff pastry and place it in an ungreased shallow baking pan. Brush the top side with egg mixture. Cut 4 (1/2-inch-wide) strips from the pastry, cutting parallel to the seam of the pastry. (I cut 2 from each side for symmetry.) Remove the 4 strips and place them along the edge of the puff pastry, trimming ends. With a fork, prick the bottom of the pastry, allowing steam to escape as the pastry cooks. Sprinkle the bottom of the pastry with 1 teaspoon seasoned black pepper or other seasoning of your choice. Gently press fresh rosemary and parsley sprigs into the bottom to make an artistic design. Bake for 6 minutes at 400 degrees F. Prick bottom of pastry again, to let any air escape from underneath the pastry while baking

Ingredients (for each bowl): ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (You may use a different type of cheese, but be sure to use shredded, not grated cheese.) Place parchment paper on a baking pan. (I used a 13-inch by 9-inch by ¾-inch pan.) Sprinkle ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese in the shape of an 8-inch circle on the center of the paper.

Ingredients: 12-oz. package frozen broccoli cuts (For the amount of cheese sauce I made, you can make (2) 12-oz. packages of frozen broccoli cuts. You may substitute broccoli spears or chopped broccoli, if desired.) 2 cups white sauce (You will find a recipe for white sauce in the video, Quick Tip 93—How to Make White Sauce.) 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese Place frozen broccoli cuts in a pot containing ½-inch of boiling water. Return to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and cook broccoli until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 2 cups white sauce until warm. Add 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese to the heated white sauce. Stir, and continue to heat and stir, just until cheese is melted. By this time the broccoli should be done. Drain broccoli through a colander, and place it in a nice serving bowl. Pour the cheese sauce into a pitcher to accompany the broccoli. Alternatively, you may mix the broccoli and cheese sauce together. This makes a bright-colored and healthy food for your table! Enjoy!!! –Betty ?

After a trip to France, he came back to America with a recipe, one guest while dining at the white house called “Macaroni Pie” according to documents in the Library of Congress, and was also a favorite of president Ronald Regan. While elbow macaroni is popular for this dish, other pasta’s have come on the market that can be used such as, shells, ziti, twisted and just about any pasta that can hold the delicious melted cheese sauce. The tubed pasta is said to have originated in China and brought to Italy by Marco Polo. Italy grabbed this pasta and served it with cheese for over 500 years. The popularity of this dish spread throughout Europe and was brought to America by the English in the early 1800′s and has become a family favorite. During WW II Mac and cheese became a best seller and a favorite of the women who joined the work force, as a nutritious alternative to the rationing meat for an easy, quick recipe to prepare.
