Creamy Cabot Cheese Spread

Cabot Creamery Cooperative, located in Vermont, has been in continuous operation since 1919.  Cabot has won numerous awards for the exceptional quality of their cheeses.  Commercial cheeses use enzymes to speed up the aging process.  Cabot does not and ages its cheeses naturally.  With that being said, try this Creamy Cabot Cheese Spread for your next holiday celebration!

Ingredients:

8 ounces Cabot Sharp Cheddar, Seriously Sharp Cheddar or Extra Sharp Cheddar, grated (about 2 cups)

2 tablespoons Cabot Salted Butter

2 teaspoons coarse-grained Dijon mustard

1 small clove garlic, minced

1/4-1/3 cup white wine or beer

Directions:

1. In food processor, combine cheese, butter, mustard and garlic. 

2. Process until smooth, about 1 minute, adding enough of wine or beer to make spread of desired consistency. (Spread can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 1 week).

When ready to serve, allow the spread to soften at room temperature and mound it in a bowl. Surround it with slices of interesting hearty breads like multi-grain, walnut, or rosemary.

• Directions
• In a skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is crisp and onion is tender; drain on paper towels.
• Prepare roll mix according to package directions. Turn the dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes.
• Divide dough into 18 pieces. On a floured surface, roll out each piece into a 5-in. circle. Top each with 1 tablespoon of bacon filling. Fold dough around filling, shaping each piece into a small loaf; pinch edges to seal. Place seam side down on greased baking sheets. Cover loosely with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray. Let rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.
• Brush egg over buns. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.

Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

This juicy pork tenderloin is sprinkled with steak seasoning and wrapped in bacon.  Usually, my mom shares her wonderful recipes with me.  Well, this was one that I HAD to share with her.  Found this on MyRecipes.  I'm a garlic freak, so I added some fresh garlic to season with in addition to the steak seasoning.  Yum!

Ingredients:

• 1 (1-lb.) pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
• 3 bacon slices, cut in half crosswise

Directions:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425°. Remove silver skin from pork tenderloin, leaving a thin layer of fat covering the pork. Sprinkle seasoning over pork. Wrap pork with bacon slices, and secure with wooden picks. Place pork on a lightly greased wire rack in an aluminum foil-lined roasting pan.
• 2. Bake at 425° for 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 155°. Increase oven temperature to broil. Broil 5 inches from heat 3 to 5 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Remove from oven; cover pork with foil, and let stand 10 minutes or until thermometer registers 160°.
• 3.  Enjoy!
