Instant Pot Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup - Every Little Crumb Every Little Crumb

The easiest instant pot Panera broccoli cheddar soup is made in minutes, so rich, comforting and absolutely delicious. The best at home take!

everylittlecrumb.com

This soup was even better than Panera's version. Did not use Instant Pot.

The shredded carrots added texture and color. Added more cheese (1 cup) and more milk (about 1.5 cups), and it was still a thick soup (in a good way). Goes very well with bread or a bread bowl.

How to Make Chinese Egg Rolls

These Chinese egg rolls are filled with tender meat and crunchy vegetables. I’ve included three cooking methods in this recipe and all of them yield a very crispy crust.

omnivorescookbook.com

Cook the egg rolls​

• Prepare a baking sheet with a rack on top, for cooling the egg rolls.
  
  
• Option 1 - To deep fry the egg rolls, heat 1-inch (2.5 cm) of oil in a deep medium pot or a dutch oven over medium heat to 350 F (177 C). If you do not have a thermometer, insert a wooden chopstick into the heated oil. You should see continuous tiny bubbles coming up around the chopstick. If the bubbles only come up here and there, the oil is not hot enough. If the bubbles are large and bursting to the surface, the oil is too hot.
• Fry the egg rolls in batches of 5 to 6. Flip and move them occasionally for even browning. Fry until the egg rolls are golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and transfer the egg rolls with a slotted spoon or wire spider onto the rack to let them cool. Repeat until you have cooked all the egg rolls.
  
  
• Option 2 - To bake the egg rolls in the oven, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). Place the egg rolls onto a lined baking sheet, seam-side-down, with about 2 fingers’ width gap between. Generously spray oil on top. Bake for 9 minutes, or until the bottom turns a golden color. Flip the spring rolls and spray oil onto them again. Return the tray to the oven. Bake for another 6 to 8 minutes, until the other side is golden as well. Once done, let the egg rolls cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving to maximize crispiness.
  
  
• Option 3 - To fry the egg rolls in an air-fryer, preheat the air-fryer to 390 F (10 mins or so). Cook them in batches. Spread a few spring rolls in the basket without overlapping them. Spray with a thin layer of oil, or you can bake them without using any oil. Bake for 6 minutes, flip, and bake for another 5 minutes. Once done, let the egg rolls cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving to maximize crispiness.
  
  
• Serve the egg rolls hot with whichever dipping sauce(s) you prefer.

"Works great as a sauce in sandwiches and burgers, but also great as a dip (perfect for Sweet Potato Wedges or Bacon Wrapped Sweet Potato Wedges). It’s also of course great slathered in a sandwich, my favourites being Chorizo Sandwich and Antipasto Sandwich!"

Use pre-divided meal containers



Invest in pre-divided containers that are easy to take to work and fun to make healthy food choices for each spot. Plan on having a lean protein source such as last night’s leftover chicken breast in your biggest divider or sliced ham, and the rest, add carrot sticks or cherry tomatoes, whole grain crackers, and fruit such as grapes or mandarin orange slices, for a well-balanced, filling meal.

In addition to spreading it on toasted breads, I also like jalapeño jelly with ice cream.

Jalapeno Pepper Jelly

Whether you spread it over crackers, serve it on a charcuterie board, or use it as a sandwich topper Jalapeno Pepper Jelly is easy to prepare.

www.aimeemars.com

HOW TO SERVE JALAPENO JELLY

This delicious condiment can be served in many different ways and below are some of my favorite options.

• As an appetizer. One of the most common ways to serve this jelly is by pouring it over cream cheese and using it as an appetizer spread.
• Charcuterie Board. This also makes a great spread for any charcuterie board, especially during the holidays.
• Sandwich topper. Perfect for a simple sandwich or even a leftover turkey or ham sandwich. Spread this on and add some additional flavor.
• Glaze. Use it as a glaze for pork, chicken, ham, or even fish. This jelly adds a delicious glazed topping.
• Make it into a dip. Instead of just pouring it over the cream cheese you could also mix the two ingredients together to make a delicious dip for chips or crackers.
• Salad dressing. Surprisingly, this also mixes well into a salad dressing by making a simple olive oil and lemon juice base you can add in some jelly for a nice kick.
