To add a little extra panache to your Ready For You flatbread, try adding a drizzle of the Panache Tangy Red Pepper Topper & Spread. This will add a hit of umami to your flatbread and pairs so well with the saltiness of the prosciutto and the herbiness of the pesto. Whether you’re hosting or bringing to share, this flatbread is sure to impress.
Sweet Stinger Cup & Char Pepperoni Flatbread
Spicy and sweet, this flatbread is a great option for a Friendsmas. While it packs some heat, thanks to the hot honey drizzle, you can offer a little bit of cooling down for your taste buds with a few dollops of goat cheese before you heat it up in the oven . It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing dish that feels festive without the fuss.
Southwest Potatoes
Add some Southwestern flavours to your holiday side of roast potatoes.. Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, top them with 2 tbsp minced jalapenos, ¼ cup black beans, and ¾ cup of grated cheddar cheese. Slide them back into the oven just long enough to make the cheese to be melty and bubbly. Just before serving, sprinkle some chopped cilantro for a vibrant garnish. This dish brings a little heat, a lot of heart, and a whole lot of comfort to your holiday table.
Asparagus Bundles
Buttery pastry, savoury prosciutto, velvety Brie cheese and fresh asparagus come together in one irresistible bite. After cooking the asparagus and setting it aside, cut the puff pastry into 6 squares. Place one slice of prosciutto folded in half on top of the puff pastry, and add 2-3 stalks of asparagus (depending on their size), and top with a small slice of Brie cheese. Lift the two opposite corners of the puff pastry square and wrap them around the asparagus, press to seal, and brush with egg wash. Bake in a 230°C (450°F) oven for 12-15 minutes. These bundles are a great choice to add some elegance to your holiday menu.
Meatball Creamy Ricotta Pesto
Create a delicious cheesy sauce by combining Compliments Basil Pesto Sauce (170 grams) and ¼ cup ricotta cheese in a small sauce pot on medium heat. Stir to combine and heated through. Serve warm over Ready For You meatballs for a simple yet festive dish that’s great for holiday get-togethers, parties, and or quiet night by the fireplace.
