Instructions
For the creamy brussels sprouts dip
- Preheat the oven to 400F. In a bowl, stir together cream cheese, sour cream, shredded mozzarella and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Heat your oven-proof skillet to medium heat. Once warm, add 1 tbsp OO along with the garlic and shallot. Saute just a few minutes until fragrant (be careful not to burn).
- Add the brussels sprouts to the skillet plus pepper, salt and dried thyme. Cook until just tender, about 5-7 mins.
- Add the cheese mixture to the pan and gently stir to combine everything, smoothing out the top. Season the breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt, pepper and garlic powder and then top the dip with the breadcrumbs.
- Bake uncovered for 15-17 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
- Serve with your choice of crostini or crackers!
For the "gin" cocktail
- First rim the glass with peppermint extract and sugar.
- Then, add cucumber, mint and jalapeno to the glass and muddle. Add crushed ice, Ritual Zero Proof Gin Alternative and stir. Then, top with soda water.
Notes
- If you want to make crostini with this dip: Preheat the oven to 400F. Using a bread knife, slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil on one side and place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 10 minutes total, flipping halfway through. Set aside and then make the dip.
- If you want mix things up, try substituting the cheddar cheese with gruyere cheese.
