Sunnys Quick Spicy Cream Cheese Recipes

SUNNY'S QUICK CHEESE PUFF SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll the pastry out flat on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin. Brush off any excess flour. In a small bowl, combine the mustard with a splash of water to loosen. Brush the mustard over the entire top of the pastry.
• In a small bowl, stir together the cheese, thyme and a few grinds of black pepper. Sprinkle the entire sheet of pastry with the cheese mixture. Gently roll the top of the pastry again to lightly embed the topping into the pastry. Cut into 2-inch squares and pinch one set of opposite corners together on each square or leave flat. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the squares are puffed and golden brown, 10 to 14 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PIMIENTO CHEESE

Steps:

• Combine 8 ounces each shredded cheddar and pepper jack, one 4-ounce jar diced pimientos (plus 2 tablespoons juice), 1/2 diced red onion, 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 to 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon hot smoked paprika and 1/2 teaspoon ground celery seeds with a rubber spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

SUNNY'S QUICK CHICKEN CHEESESTEAK

Steps:

• For the cheese sauce: Combine 8 ounces of the beer, the Chicken Seasoning Blend and the chipotle steak seasoning in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the cheese; cook just until the cheese is melted, adding more beer if the sauce is too thick. Keep warm.
• For the chicken: Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the onions and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken, drizzle with the remaining tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the Chicken Seasoning Blend. Cook until the chicken is browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Pour the chicken stock over the chicken and cook for another minute.
• To build sandwiches: Coat the bottom half of each hoagie roll with mayonnaise. Divide the chicken and onions among the rolls. Drizzle with cheese sauce and top with a bit of relish.
• In a small bowl combine the chicken seasoning, kosher salt, garlic salt and a few grinds of black pepper.

EASY PIMENTO CHEESE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine cheeses, pimentos and pimento juice, onion, mayonnaise, garlic, paprika, and celery seed. Mix well and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Transfer the cheese spread to a serving bowl and serve with the bread.

SUNNY'S QUICK HORCHATA FONDUE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, add the rice milk and cinnamon stick. Heat over medium heat until warm, then turn off the heat and add the chocolate and salt. Let sit for a minute, then stir to melt. If too loose, just cook a bit longer; if not loose enough, add more rice milk. Top with a dusting of cinnamon and serve with the suggested dippers and more!
