RECIPE OF THE WEEK!

Pull-Apart Christmas Tree

Ingredient Checklist

• 1 lb. refrigerated pizza dough
• Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water)
• 7 mozzarella sticks
• 1/4 c. melted butter
• 1/2 c. finely grated Parmesan
• 1 tbsp. Thinly sliced basil
• 1 tbsp. chopped parsley
• 1 tbsp. chopped rosemary
• Marinara, warmed (for serving)

Instructions Checklist

• Preheat oven to 450°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut mozzarella sticks into 1” pieces and set aside.
• On a floured surface, divide pizza dough into two pieces. Stretch and roll each piece of dough into a long rectangle, then cut dough into 2” squares (you’ll need 33 total).
• Wrap a dough square around each piece of mozzarella, forming a tightly sealed ball. Place balls seam-side down on the baking sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree (they should be touching). Brush egg wash on dough balls and bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together melted butter, Parmesan and herbs. Brush on baked pizza balls. Serve warm with marinara for dipping.

Christmas Margaritas

Ingredient Checklist

• Lime wedge, for rimming glasses
• Red sanding sugar, for rimming glasses
• 1 c. water
• 2 (3-oz.) packets lime Jell-O
• 8 oz. vodka, chilled
• Whipped cream, for garnish
• Mint leaves, for garnish
• Red Hots, for garnish

Instructions Checklist

• Run a lime wedge around the rim of each shot glass then dip each shot glass into red sanding sugar.
• Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once bubbling, stir in lime Jell-O, stirring until completely dissolved. Turn off heat. Pour in vodka or tequila (or whatever your preferred alcohol is), mixing until thoroughly combined. 
• Pour into a large measuring cup, small pitcher or another glass so it’s easier to pour into shot glasses. Pour Jell-O mixture into each shot glass. Place shot glasses into refrigerator until Jell-O sets, about 2 hours.
• Garnish with whipped cream, mint leaves, and Red Hot candies before serving.
