Healthy Poppers - Cuisinart TOA-26 Manual De Instrucciones Y Libro De Recetas

Egg Wash:
1 large egg
1 teaspoon water
1 to 2 tablespoons "everything bagel" spice blend (if this cannot be
found in the store, poppy seeds or untoasted sesame seeds
work well)
1. Bring pizza dough to room temperature (be sure it is covered so it
does not dry out).
2. While pizza dough is resting, choose one of the cream cheese
mixtures to prepare. Each of these mixtures can either be stirred
together in a small bowl, or if a mini food processor/chopper is avail-
able, that can be used. If using the mini food processor/chopper to
prepare the scallion cream cheese, first chop the scallions in the pro-
cessor and then add the cream cheese, salt and pepper. The smoked
salmon cream cheese can be prepared by first processing the cream
cheese, then adding the salmon in 1-inch pieces and finally pulsing
to combine.
3. Divide the rested dough into 6 pieces. Roll a piece into a small ball
and then stuff with about 1 tablespoon of the filling. Fold the dough
over so it completely covers the filling. Transfer to a lightly floured
surface and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough
pieces.
4. Place a 6-quart saucepan filled with water over high heat and bring
to a boil.
5. While the water is coming to a boil, prepare the baking soda wash by
stirring together the warm water and baking soda together in a small
bowl. Reserve.
6. Carefully slide one filled dough round into the boiling water at a time
flipping each after 1½ minutes. (In most pots, three rounds can be
boiled at one time. You want to be sure not to overcrowd the pot or
the dough will stick together). Boil for 3 minutes total (they should
start to rise to the surface). Allow to drain on a wire cooling rack
while boiling the others
7. Dip each boiled dough round into the baking soda wash and place
on a clean plate. Lightly brush the bites with the egg wash and sprin-
kle generously with the everything bagel spice blend.
8. Lightly coat the AirFryer Basket with cooking spray. Then transfer the
coated bagel bites onto the basket.
9. Put into the oven and set to Bake at 350°F. Bake the bagel bites until
dark and golden, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. When bagels are
finished, transfer to a wire cooling rack.

Healthy Poppers

When the breading is removed from a traditional jalapeño popper,
not only is it healthier but the flavor, and spice, of the jalapeño
really comes to the forefront.

6 jalapeños, halved lengthwise and seeded
4 ounces (½ standard package) cream cheese,
room temperature
2 tablespoons blue cheese (½ teaspoon cheese per popper)

only need 1 to 2 pieces for the poppers, you can fit about 8 pieces in
the basket and use the others for other uses, such as breakfast
