Vegetarian Estofado :Filipino Style Recipe


INGREDIENTS

Butter cake loaf or Taisan de Pampanga butter-cheese loaves (see past blog post) - 2 loaves, sliced in rectangles with 1/2 inch thickness
butter (Kerrygold USA butter or any good brand preferred) - 1/2 cup, melted, use unsalted
granulated white sugar - 1/4 cup, divided, leave 2 Tablespoons for sprinkling after baking
grated edam cheese (queso de bola) - 2 Tablespoons, for sprinkling (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 250 F degrees. Prepare a cookie or baking sheet by lining it with parchment or baking paper.
  2. Take 2 loaves of Taisan butter loaves (or use store bought butter loaf cakes). Slice the loaf cakes with a ½ inch thickness. Take the rectangle slices and place them on the baking sheets. Leave an inch of space between each slice.
  3. Brush each slice with melted butter. I used Kerrygold USA butter, but you can use any good brand available. Sprinkle some granulated white sugar over the slices.
  4. Bake the biscocho slices at 250 F degrees for one hour. When done, place the biscocho slices on a baking rack to cool. This will help make them crisp. Sprinkle some more granulated sugar if desired. Optional topping : scatter some finely grated cheese over the slices like ‘queso de bola’ (edam cheese).
  5. To store: keep in dry, airtight containers to maintain crispness.
