Guggisberg Swiss Rösti

4 tbsp butter

1 cup shredded potatoes

1 large slice or 1 cup shredded Guggisberg Baby Swiss

1. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a small, heavy-based frying pan until sizzling, and then add the grated potato. Allow to cook for a minute, and then shape it into a flat cake, pressing down lightly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then gently shake the pan to loosen the potato.
2. Continue to cook for about 10 minutes until golden and crisp. Place a plate on top of the pan and invert it so the cake is now sitting cooked-side up on the plate.
3. Add 1 tbsp butter to pan, and slide rösti back into pan with the underside now facing up. Cooke for 5 minutes.
4. Lay slice or sprinkle shredded Baby Swiss on top of potatoes, and allow to cook until cheese becomes melted and bubbly (about 5 minutes).
5. Once Rösti is a golden, crispy brown and cheese has melted, remove from heat. Add items like scallions, a fried egg, chopped ham, and peppers on top for a fun twist!  Dig into Rösti, and enjoy!

• 4 slices Guggisberg Baby Swiss Cheese
• ½  Large Onion (Sliced)
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• Worcestershire Sauce
• 4 slices bread of choice

1. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and soft.
2. In a bowl, mix the ground beef and a dash of Worcestershire. Form into 2 patties.
3. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties on both sides until fully cooked in the middle.
4. On a clean griddle or skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Layer your sandwich in this order:  Slice of bread, slice of Baby Swiss, hamburger patty, half of the cooked onions, another slice of Baby Swiss, and another slice of bread.

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf frozen bread dough
• 1/2 cup Guggisberg Baby Swiss Cheese
• 1/2 cup Guggisberg Amish Butter Cheese
• 50 pieces sliced Pepperoni
• Handful of diced ham, bacon, or sausage
• ½ cup stick butter
• Marinara sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Defrost & roll out dough into rectangle shape on greased cookie sheet.

If you like, spread marinara as your first layer. My family prefers none inside the Stromboli. Sprinkle both cheeses down the middle of the dough. Layer Pepperoni on top of cheese, then sprinkle remaining meat choices. Start with the middle and bring up sides to pinch shut. Fold over ends to create closed log-shaped Stromboli. Slice butter into ½ inch cubes and lay across top of Stromboli Bake for 30 minutes, or until top is golden brown. (I like to pour browned butter from the pan back onto Stromboli.) Cut into slices and enjoy with Marinara sauce! You can get creative with different cheeses, and add in peppers, onions, and banana peppers! The possibilities are endless! Another favorite combo is Guggisberg Thunder Jack Cheese, pepperoni, sausage, peppers, and onions!
