Mickey Pretzels and Cheese Dip

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
Store-bought pizza dough (room temperature)
Sea salt flakes
2 egg whites, whisked
Flour

Store-bought cheese dip or mustard

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Use a non-stick cookie sheet.
  3. Allow the store-bought pizza dough to reach room temperature.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, cut the dough into 4 pieces to make 4 pretzels.
  5. Working on 1 pretzel at a time, separate the dough into 3 balls, one ball larger than the other two.
  6. Roll out the largest piece for the head and the smaller pieces for the ears. Tip: Don’t over-flour the dough; keep it sticky.
  7. Create 3 circles with the dough. The large circle will be Mickey’s head, and the two smaller circles will be his ears.
  8. Make sure the small circles are attached to the large circle. The dough should be sticky enough so his ears are attached to create one fun pretzel!
  9. Brush the pretzel with the egg whites and lightly sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
  10. Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve with a cheesy dip or mustard!

Blue Bayou Monte Cristo Sandwich

Ingredients:

1 egg
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons water
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
8 slices egg bread (challah works well), sliced 1/2-inch thick
8 thin slices ham
8 thin slices turkey
8 thin slices Swiss cheese
3 cups canola oil
Confectioners sugar
Blackberry preserves

Preparation

Line a cookie sheet with paper towels; set aside. Whisk the egg and water together in a mixing bowl. Add flour, salt, and baking powder and whisk thoroughly for 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth, scraping sides of bowl. On one slice of bread, arrange 2 slices of ham, turkey, and cheese, covering the bread evenly. Place another slice of bread on top and slice each sandwich in half diagonally.

Heat oil to between 365 degrees F and 375 degrees F in a 10-inch pan. Do not let the oil reach a higher temperature than this; if the oil starts to smoke, turn the heat down. Dip half of the sandwich into the batter, allowing excess to drain, and very carefully place into the oil. Repeat with the other sandwich half. Cook 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Place the cooked sandwich on the prepared cookie sheet in a warm oven until ready to serve. Repeat with the other three sandwiches.

Cook one at a time, and allow the oil to reach the desired temperature between each. Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar and serve with blackberry preserves on the side.
