Cream Cheese Spread:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons minced oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian salad dressing

Pinwheels:

2 cups finely shredded Romaine lettuce
1/3 cup roughly chopped banana peppers, patted dry
6 thin slices salami or sandwich pepperoni
6 thin slices ham
6 slices provolone cheese
1/3 cup roughly chopped roasted red peppers, patted dry

Combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder,
and Italian salad dressing in a bowl until well blended.
Spread half the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the
edge. Evenly scatter lettuce over cream cheese spread, and top with banana peppers.
Evenly layer salami, ham, and provolone on each tortilla and top with roasted red peppers.
Roll up tightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Use a sharp serrated

1/2 c. slivered almonds
8 slices bacon
1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 c. mayonnaise
2 c. freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 green onions, sliced thin and divided
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. cayenne
Buttery crackers, bagel chips, to serve
Hot sauce, to serve

In a large skillet over medium-low heat, toast the almonds until lightly golden and fragrant, 5 to
7 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool.
In the same large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon, turning as needed, until the fat has
rendered and the bacon is golden and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-
lined plate. Let the bacon cool to room temperature, then crumble it into bite-size pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise until very smooth. Fold in the
cheese, toasted almonds, cooked bacon, 3 green onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne.
Stir until well combined.
Transfer to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap or an airtight lid, and chill for at least 1 hour.
Garnish with the remaining green onion and serve with crackers, bagel chips, and hot sauce.

8 strips of bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 fresh jalapenos, chopped, plus more for garnish
2 8 oz. blocks cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. mayonnaise
1/3 c. sour cream
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
8 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 c. crushed, thick yellow corn tortilla chips, plus more chips for serving
Sliced, toasted baguette, for serving

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat a 10” cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook
for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Remove from the heat and transfer the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate
to drain. Remove all but a thin layer of bacon grease from the skillet (about 2 tablespoons remaining).

Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the garlic and jalapeno. Cook 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Remove from the heat. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and
black pepper. Stir or whisk until smooth. Stir in about two-thirds of the bacon.

Sprinkle the cheddar cheese all over the top of the dip, followed by the crushed chips. Bake for 12-14
minutes, until the edges are bubbly and the cheese is melted all over. Top with the remaining cooked
bacon and extra slices of jalapeno. Serve with more tortilla chips and toasted baguette.

FOR THE PIZZAS:
6 whole deli rolls or French bread, sliced
Jarred marinara or pizza sauce
Jarred or refrigerated pesto
2 lb. shredded mozzarella cheese
Grated parmesan cheese, to taste
2 tbsp. butter
1 onion, sliced
1/2 lb. sausage (breakfast or italian)
FOR THE TOPPINGS:
Pepperoni slices
Canadian bacon slices
Pineapple chunks, fresh or canned
Roma tomatoes, sliced
Sliced black olives
Goat cheese
Sliced bell peppers
Pepperoncini
Jalapeño slices
Sliced red onion

Preheat the oven to 375°.
For the pizza: Slice rolls in half and lay them, cut side up, on a large baking sheet.
Top each half with a generous portion of either marinara or pesto. Next, top with a generous
amount of grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese, if you'd like.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring
occasionally, until golden and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add the sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 6 to
8 minutes.
Top the bread with the onions and sausage. Sprinkle on your choice of optional toppings.
Once all assembled, put the pan in the oven on the lowest rack for 8 to 10 minutes. Crank up the
heat to 425° and put it on the highest rack until the cheese starts to bubble a bit and turn golden,
2 to 3 minutes.
Remove and serve immediately! You can cut the pizzas in half right across the middle so there
are mini French bread pizzas for everyone.

½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (reserve ½ cup)
10 slices crispy cooked bacon chopped (reserve half)

2 sheets frozen puff pastry

2 eggs, at room temperature

8 ounces herbed goat cheese, at room temperature

1 ounce (about 3/4 cup grated) Romano cheese

1 pound asparagus, trimmed and peeled as needed

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Zest of 1 lemon

Place a cookie sheet on a rack in the center of the oven. Heat oven to 400˚F or according to puff pastry package instructions. Remove puff pastry from freezer and let stand at room temperature while you make the filling.

Make the filling:

Zest the lemon into a small bowl and set the zest aside. You will use it later. In a medium bowl, beat 1 egg with the goat cheese, Romano cheese, and 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Create the tart shell:

When the pastry is pliable enough to work with, generally after 20 to 30 minutes, unfold both sheets on a sheet of parchment paper. Overlap ends by 1 inch, forming 1 long rectangle (about 17 inches x 9 inches); press together to seal.

Beat the remaining egg with 1 teaspoon water, then brush a 1-inch rim of egg wash around the pastry rectangle.

Fold edges inward and press to create a 1-inch border. This acts as a “glue” and creates a picture frame effect. Use additional egg wash to seal corners where they overlap. Brush top of folded rim with egg wash.

Top the tart: 

Spread the goat cheese mixture inside the pastry border. Toss the asparagus with the oil and salt, then arrange in a single layer on top of the cheese. If you want to get fancy, feel free to play with the arrangement of your asparagus.

Bake:

Remove the hot cookie sheet from the oven and add the parchment with the tart; return the cookie sheet to the oven. Bake the tart until golden brown and flaky, 30 to 35 minutes.

Serve:

Sprinkle the lemon zest over the asparagus and then cut the tart into triangles or squares. Serve immediately or let cool on a rack and serve at room temperature.
