3-INGREDIENT CHEDDAR & APPLE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

CHEESY SPINACH PUFF PASTRY BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Set the bacon aside.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Stir in the garlic. Add the spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper and set aside.
• Stir 1 egg, the cream cheese, Parmesan, feta and chives together in a large bowl. Stir in the spinach mixture and the bacon. Set aside.
• Dust a work surface with flour and roll out the pastry with a rolling pin to smooth out any creases. Cut into 4-inch pieces; you should get about 9 squares. Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg together with a splash of water. Using a pastry brush, brush two adjacent sides of each square with the egg wash. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling into the center of the square. Fold the dough over the filling, forming a triangle, and crimp the edges together. Place the bites in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the fridge and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash. Bake until golden brown and puffed, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before eating.

CHEESY PUFFED MUSHROOM BITES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the mushroom filling: In a 12-inch cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat, melt together 1 tablespoon of Private Selection™ Salted French Butter and the Private Selection™ Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Once it starts to foam, add the mushrooms and thyme and stir to coat. Sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring, until the bottoms of the mushrooms are golden brown, before stirring again and continuing to cook without disturbing. Repeat, adding more butter as needed if the pan looks too dry, until the mushrooms are browned and cooked through, 7-8 minutes total.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the garlic and pepper and cook for another minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
• Remove the pan from the heat and deglaze with the sherry vinegar, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Remove the thyme sprigs, then set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out the puff pastry sheet if needed to a 9-inch square, then cut into 9 3-inch squares and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Use a paring knife to lightly score a ½-inch border around the edges of each square, making sure not to cut all the way through. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg yolk mixture over the borders of each square.
• Place about 2 teaspoons of Private Selection® Alpine Blend Cheese in the center of each pastry square, then top with about 1 tablespoon of the mushroom mixture, arranging the mushrooms in a nice pattern, if desired. Top each pastry with a small pinch of Private Selection® Alpine Blend Cheese.
• Bake the squares for 15-17 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• Use your fingers to strip the leaves from the thyme sprigs, then garnish the mushroom bites with the thyme leaves just before serving.
• Enjoy!

SPICY CHEESE BITES

Steps:

• Sift the flour and a little salt into a bowl. Set a non-stick pan on the heat with 150ml cold water and the chopped butter. Bring to the boil, stirring until the butter melts. Tip in all the flour and, using a wooden spoon, beat hard until the mix becomes smooth and starts to leave the side of the pan.
• Remove from the heat, beat in the gruyère and half the parmesan and cool for 5 mins. Gradually beat in the eggs until you have a smooth, thick, but spoonable mix - you may not need all the egg. Can be set aside now for 2 hrs without chilling.
• When ready to serve, heat the oil in a deep-fat frying pan to around 180C. Using 2 teaspoons scoop up neat dollops and carefully drop into the hot oil. Fry 6-8 dollops a time for 3-4 mins until golden and crisp - dunk the dollops under to brown evenly. Reheat the oil as necessary. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan. Serve hot.
