The Forbidden Bite Recipes

CHORIZO-TATER TOT BITES

Steps:

• Bake the Tater Tots as the label directs and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, cook the chorizo in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe out the skillet.
• Whisk the eggs with the half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the Tater Tots, cheese and scallions.
• Melt the butter in the skillet and add the egg mixture, spreading it out with a rubber spatula. Scatter the chorizo over the top; transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are set, about 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, then slide onto a cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces.

FAIRY BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with plastic wrap (or cut parchment to fit) leaving a 1-inch overhang.
• Cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well combined. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour and salt until well combined. Stir in sprinkles.
• Knead mixture 4 to 5 times in the bowl until dough forms a ball. Pat dough evenly into the prepared pan. Use overhang to lift dough from pan. Cut dough into 1/2-inch squares. Gently place squares 1/2 inch apart onto an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake until bottoms just begin to brown, about 15 minutes.
