One thing my family loves is football! We are glued to the TV every Sunday and Monday night through the entire season. Another thing my family enjoys is cheese. Cheese comes in so many different varieties and makes a great snack.
Alouette and Chavrie are two new (to us) brands of gourmet cheese. Alouette makes several different kinds of cheese including goat cheese and cheese spread. Chavrie is a creamy, decadent goat cheese which comes in logs and their traditional pyramid shaped packaging.
We tried the Alouette Soft Spreadable Cheese and it was delicious! It is very rich and creamy and tastes great spread on vegetable flavored crackers. It was $3.98 at my local super store. I haven’t been able to find the Chavrie around here but I am dying to try it.
Two popular choices for Super Bowl parties are chips with dip and wings. Have you thought about mixing it up a bit this year? I have two recipes that I would like to share with you that would be great for a Super Bowl party. I haven’t tried either one yet but they do sound very good.
Alouette White Style Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 ready to use pizza crust (10-12″)
- 1 pkg Alouette Garlic & Herbs or Alouette Creamy Onion & Shallots
- 1 can anchovies, drained (Optional & I personally would leave this out)
- 1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 6 cherry tomatoes sliced
- Nicoise or other black pitted olives halved
- 1 tsp. Herbes de Provence (or 1/4 tsp. dried rosemary, marjoram, basil and thyme)
- 1 tbsp. grated parmesan
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°
- Spread pizza crust with Alouette Spreadable Cheese.
- Arrange anchovies, onions, tomatoes and olives on pizza crust.
- Sprinkle with Herbes de Provence and parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until crust is golden.
Chavrie Cherry Bread Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup Chavrie Goat Cheese
- 1/2 cup half and half or milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 sweet Hawaiian dinner rolls, torn in 1 inch pieces
- 1/4 cup dried tart cherries
Directions
- Heat oven to 325°. Butter 2 oven proof dishes or ramekins, 8-10 oz. each.
- Whisk together the egg, sugar and Chavrie in medium bowl. Whisk in the half and half and vanilla.
- Stir in the roll pieces and dried cherries until well coated.
- Let stand 5 minutes.
- Spoon evenly into dishes. Bake 25 to 28 minutes or until set and knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool 15 minutes. Serve topped with a small scoop of ice cream. Yum!
I realize that having a gourmet Super Bowl party may take a little more time that you may not have. But, if you have an extra few minutes it might be worth it to have a Gourmet Super Bowl. If these recipes don’t appeal to you there are tons more great recipes on the Alouette and Chavrie websites. You can also connect with Alouette on Twitter @alouettecheese and Chavrie on Twitter @chavrie.
