New Year's Eve food ideas - interesting dip for crackers
Ingredients:
3 x 250 grams of cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1½ tablespoons pesto
¼ cup shredded bacon
grated Parmesan for rolling
Peppercorns for the eyes, mouth and buttons
Leek leaf for scarf
a sprig of herbs for the arms
a carrot for nose
3 slices of bread for the hat
toothpick
Preparation:
1. In a small bowl, mix 250 grams cream cheese, 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese and pesto.
2. In another bowl, combine 500 grams cream cheese, 2/3 cup cheddar cheese and shredded bacon.
3. Form each mixture into two balls, one large and one small. They won't be perfect yet because the cheese is too soft, so it needs to be put in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
4. Then roll the cheese balls in grated Parmesan cheese. Attach the small ball to the larger one using toothpicks to form the snowman's body.
5. Make the eyes, mouth and buttons with the peppercorns.
6. Place the carrot in the middle of the face for the nose.
7. Make the arms with thyme twigs and the scarf with a leek leaf. Make a hat out of three slices of bread like in the picture above.
8. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
9. Serve with pretzels, crackers and vegetables.

3 onions thinly sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
1 cup of red wine
3 tbsp brown sugar
3-4 sprigs of thyme and a few extra for garnish
Salt & Pepper
2 sheets of puff pastry 23 cm x 23 cm

4. Add the rest of the red wine, continue to cook and stir until the liquid has evaporated.
5. Place the puff pastry on a floured work surface and cut out the circles to the desired size. You could also cut the dough into 4cm squares. This way you can use the puff pastry optimally and without wasting it. This recipe makes 8 tarts that are 8cm in diameter.

7. Brush the edge of each tart lightly with milk or egg-milk mix and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.

Mushrooms stuffed with Parmegano and herbs
Ingredients:
24 small mushroom caps (keep the stems)
2 tsp minced garlic
3 THE Panko Paniermehl
1 teaspoon parsley
1/8 tsp Italian herb mix
3 tablespoons finely grated cheese such as Parmesan
2 tablespoons grated cheese such as mozzarella
Salt, black pepper, ground red pepper to taste
olive oil
Tips: Mushrooms work best for this recipe. You can also use other cheeses like Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan or Gorgonzola or Gouda instead of Mozzarella. You can also add spicy Italian sausage – just use less breadcrumbs and olive oil. When serving, you can drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over the mushrooms.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Wash mushrooms and remove stems. Cut the stems into small pieces. Combine everything except the cheese in a bowl.
Sauté mixture over medium heat in a small amount of olive oil just until the scents are released.
Pour the sautéed mixture into the bowl and add the cheese. Fill the mushroom caps generously with the mixture and bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
