CHICKEN STUFFED WITH BOURSIN CHEESE AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a baking dish that will hold all four breasts, such as a 13 x 9 pan.
• Make stuffing: Wash and dry spinach. Roughly chop the spinach and place into a medium size bowl. Using a fork or your hands, mash the spinach and cheese together until the spinach is coated with the cheese and most of the lumps are gone.
• Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Slide your fingers under the chicken skin to loosen it, leaving some of the membrane intact so it will better hold the stuffing.
• Lightly drizzle olive oil on the bottom of the pan, and lay the chicken breasts skin-side up on top of the oil.
• Dividing the stuffing evenly between them, stuff the breasts. Using the opening you made with your fingers, gently push the spinach/cheese mixture under the skin, working it around so it looks attractive.
• Drizzle the skin lightly with olive oil.
• Place pan in oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• If you have extra stuffing, bake it in a small greased dish for about 25 minutes.
• Check the chicken after 30 minutes and lay a piece of foil over the pan if it is getting too brown.

TIPSY HAM AND CHEESE

Steps:

• For the beer cheese: In a saucepan, add the cheese, beer, oil, Dijon, Worcestershire and cayenne and heat over medium heat until melted and smooth. Bring to room temperature before serving. Use immediately or refrigerate up to 3 days.
• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the flour, baking powder and salt in a food processor. Pulse until combined. Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until the butter is cut into pea-sized bites. Add the buttermilk and pulse until the dough just begins to come together, then turn out onto a floured board. Knead the dough a few times with your hands to bring together, then roll out into a 1-inch-thick disk. Punch out with a 1-inch biscuit cutter and arrange 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter. Bake until golden brown on the underside and light golden on top, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer the biscuits to a rack to cool at least 10 minutes.
• For the sandwiches: Carefully split each biscuit through the middle. Fold a piece of ham on the bottom and dollop beer cheese on top. Sprinkle with scallions and sandwich with the top of the biscuit.

TIPSY FRUIT

Steps:

• Mix watermelon, pineapple, and strawberries in a serving bowl.
• Whisk tequila, agave nectar, lime zest, and lime juice together in a bowl; pour dressing over fruit. Toss to coat.
