Stella Cheese Wreath Food

HOLIDAY CHEESE BALL WREATH

Steps:

• Line the inside of a 6-cup Bundt pan with plastic wrap. Process the cream cheese, shredded cheese, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and few grinds of pepper in a food processor until smooth. Empty the mixture into a medium bowl, and fold in all but 2 tablespoons of the chopped peppers.
• Spoon the cheese mixture into the prepared Bundt pan; pack it in, spread into an even layer and cover (or simply form the cheese mixture into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic wrap). Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour up to 2 days.
• Uncover and invert the cheese mold (or unwrap and transfer the ball) onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with the chives and parsley to completely coat the wreath, and garnish with the reserved 2 tablespoons peppers. Serve with crackers, sliced bread or crudites.

STELLA CHEESE WREATH

Steps:

• First, let your pizza dough come to room temperature, then divide it into 3 strands.
• Drizzle the dough with olive oil and bit of salt. Then, sprinkle on the Stella 3-Cheese Italian Blend along with a generous dose of Italian seasoning.
• Pinch the tops of each strand together and braid them tightly. Form a circle around a large cookie cutter or oven safe bowl to make sure the center bakes evenly.
• Place the dough wreath in the oven on a sheet pan or pizza round and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees F. The length of time will vary depending on how thick your dough is, so keep an eye on it until it's golden brown.
• Next, add a few sprigs of rosemary to complete the "bow" on your wreath and serve with your favorite marinara sauce (or cheesy dip to boot!).
