Ingredients
- 12 ounce Stracchino cheese well refrigerated
- 1/2 c. Pine nuts spread on a plate
- 4 Tbsp. Unsalted butter divided
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 6 ounce Amaretto liqueur
Directions
- Ask your cheese monger to cut the cheese into a 4- by 4-inch square roughly 3 inches high. Cut this block into 4 equal pcs and gently press the cut side of the cheese onto the plate of pine nuts, creating a crust on one side. Continue with each piece till all four are crusted on one side.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Add in 1 Tbsp. butter and saute/fry 2 pcs of cheese, nut crusted-side down. Cook till lightly brown, about 2 min. Remove and place each piece on a separate plate, nut crusted-side up. Repeat this procedure with the remaining 2 pcs. Remove any nuts which fell off the cheese.
- Add in the cinnamon, 2 remaining Tbsp. butter and Amaretto. Turn the heat to high and reduce to about 4 Tbsp.. Remove from heat and spoon 1 Tbsp. of liqueur over each piece of cheese. Serve immediately.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
