BLUE CHIPS

Annette swears the dividends pay off big time on these gluten-free Blue Chips. Simple to make and always the first to disappear.

½ pound Blue d’Auvergne Cheese*, crumbled
1 cup cream
½ cup milk
fresh cracked pepper
1 large bag kettle cooked potato chips or other sturdy chip

Heat cheese, cream and milk in sauce pan over low heat, stirring until cheese is just dissolved. Turn oven on to broil. Line deep baking sheet or similar pan with parchment paper. Spread out chips and pour cheese mixture over them. Season with freshly cracked pepper. Broil until the mixture is bubbly and just starting to brown. Serve immediately.

BARREL-AGED HAM + CHEESE SPIRALS

Maureen can’t make enough of this updated party classic. Gooey, cheesy inside. Browned and crispy outside.

For the spirals:

1 pound prepared pizza dough
¾ pound Smoking Goose’s Barrel-Aged Smoked Ham*, sliced thin
¾ pound Tarrentaise*, Scharfe Maxx* or Aged Gruyère Cheese*, coarsly grated

For the glaze:

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Beaufort Seeded Mustard*
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Flour a cutting board. With a rolling pin roll out pizza dough to roughly 13x 18 inches. Layer the sliced ham evenly over the dough and then top with the grated cheese. From the short side, tightly roll up the stuffed dough, jelly roll style. Cut roll into 12 1-inch slices and place in a baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine glaze ingredients in medium sauce pan over medium heat and whisk until butter is melted and ingredients are blended. Pour glaze evenly over the rolls.

Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes until golden brown on the edges.
