Easy Cheese Wreath Recipes

EASY CHEESE WREATH

Steps:

• Place 10-inch circle of parchment paper on plate. Arrange rosemary sprigs around edge of parchment.
• Top rosemary with cheese cubes and olives to resemble photo.
• Add pepper strips for the ribbon.

SUNNY'S HOT HAM AND CHEESE WREATH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line a large baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Place a 4.5-inch diameter bowl upside down in the center of the baking dish and use it as a guide (it will be the center, empty area of your wreath). Arrange triangular sections of the crescent dough on the parchment in a circle around the bowl with the long points facing outward as the "rays" and the wide bases in the center with the edges overlapping. Brush the jalapeño jelly on the dough. Remove the bowl.
• In a small bowl, mix the ham, Gruyere and pepper jack, then layer the mixture on the dough, creating a ring around the center of the circle. Pull the points of dough from the outer edge over the filling and tuck under the center rim of the dough circle. The filling will show and that's ok! Top with jalapeño slices all around.
• Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before slicing to serve.

HOLIDAY CHEESE BALL WREATH

Steps:

• Line the inside of a 6-cup Bundt pan with plastic wrap. Process the cream cheese, shredded cheese, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and few grinds of pepper in a food processor until smooth. Empty the mixture into a medium bowl, and fold in all but 2 tablespoons of the chopped peppers.
• Spoon the cheese mixture into the prepared Bundt pan; pack it in, spread into an even layer and cover (or simply form the cheese mixture into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic wrap). Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour up to 2 days.
• Uncover and invert the cheese mold (or unwrap and transfer the ball) onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with the chives and parsley to completely coat the wreath, and garnish with the reserved 2 tablespoons peppers. Serve with crackers, sliced bread or crudites.

STELLA CHEESE WREATH

Steps:

• First, let your pizza dough come to room temperature, then divide it into 3 strands.
• Drizzle the dough with olive oil and bit of salt. Then, sprinkle on the Stella 3-Cheese Italian Blend along with a generous dose of Italian seasoning.
• Pinch the tops of each strand together and braid them tightly. Form a circle around a large cookie cutter or oven safe bowl to make sure the center bakes evenly.
• Place the dough wreath in the oven on a sheet pan or pizza round and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees F. The length of time will vary depending on how thick your dough is, so keep an eye on it until it's golden brown.
• Next, add a few sprigs of rosemary to complete the "bow" on your wreath and serve with your favorite marinara sauce (or cheesy dip to boot!).
