Lincolnshire Poacher cheese is loosely based on that
of traditional West Country cheddar. There are, though,
a number of small technical differences within the
make that give the cheese its unique texture and flavour.
Serves: 4
Preparation Time: 20min., plus cooling
Cooking Time: 35min
Oven Temp: 395°F |
Directions |
1. Preheat oven to 395°F or
(200°C)
2. Simmer the potatoes in plenty of salted water
untill completely cooked through. Drain and leave
to cool.
3. While the potatoes are cooking, sweat the onions
with the bacon in the vegetable oil in a heavy-based
frying pan for 10 minutes until soft, turn up the
heat and brown stirring constantly. Turn off the
heat set aside.
4. Once they have cooled enough to handle, cut the
potatoes into 1cm slices, season with salt, freshly
ground pepper, and nutmeg set aside.
5. Mix the grated cheese together with the creme
fraiche and set aside.
6. Generously butter a gratin dish and cover with
half of the sliced potatoes followed by the onions
and bacon and the second half of the potatoes.
7. Pour over the white wine and spread the lincolnshire poacher and creme fraiche mixture over the top. Season with freshly ground pepper and grated nutmeg and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
8. Gently roll out the dough to about 1-1.5 inch
thick, then using a pastry cutter(2" diameter).
9. Cut out, arrange on a greased baking tray.
10. Brush with eggwash, as an option the remainder
of the cheese could be sprinkled on top, bake for
10-12 minutes.
11. Serve hot, split and spread with butter.
