1 tsp Dill Weed
1 tsp Celery Seed
1 Package Original Ranch Dressing Mix
2 bag Oyster Crackers (12 ounces)

Ingredients:
1 sheet | Puff Pastry |
1 cup | Guyere Cheese |
1 cup | Fontina Cheese |
2 | Eggs |
2 tsp | Salt |
1 tsp | Nutmeg |
2 | Zucchini |
2 TBSP | INFUSED Traditional Dark Balsamic Condimento |
Directions:
Using a rolling pin, roll out puff pastry sheet to fit an 11x 17 baking sheet. Using the tongs of a fork, “dock” the pastry by poking holes every 2 inches. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes until slightly browned.
Meanwhile, combine cheeses and eggs in a medium bowl.
Thinly slice the zucchini. A mandolin is helpful to make uniform thickness, but you can achieve the same results with careful knife work.
Remove pastry from oven and allow to cool a few minutes. Pour cheese and egg mixture over the top, spreading with a brush to within a ½ inch of all sides. Arrange zucchini over the top. Drizzle with INFUSED Traditional Dark Balsamic Condimento. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes or until golden on the edges. Cut into bite-sized squares with pizza cutter. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients:
7-9 | Whole Heads of Garlic, with the stem end sliced off. |
1/3 cup | Spanish Melgarejo Picual 2020 Ultra-Premium EVOO |
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400.
In a pie tin, cake pan, or other shallow oven proof baking vessel, place the garlic heads cut side up.

Ingredients:
For the Potatoes
5-6 medium | Russet Potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
2 cups | Spanish Melgarejo Picual 2020 - Ultra-Premium EVOO |
To Taste | Sea Salt |
For the Roasted Red Pepper Aioli
1 1/2 cups | Chilean Arbosano - Ultra-Premium EVOO |
1 small | Roasted Red Pepper, peeled, seeded, and diced |
2 large | Egg Yolks, room temperature |
2 cloves | Garlic, smashed |
2 tsp | Sea Salt |
1 tsp | Smoked Sweet Paprika |
1 TBSP | Fresh Lemon Juice |
Directions:
For the Potatoes:
Cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Boil for 4 minutes until just barely tender, then drain.
Heat a heavy frying pan over high heat (cast iron is excellent). Once very hot, add enough Spanish Melgarejo Picual 2020 - Ultra-Premium EVOO to come 1/2" up the sides of the pan and heat the oil to 350 F.
Add the thoroughly drained potatoes to the pan and fry for approximately 15 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through to brown both sides.
Drain and salt immediately. Serve slathered in aioli.
For the Roasted Red Pepper Aioli
In the bowl of a food processor or blender jar, add the egg yolks, salt, garlic, lemon juice, and pepper. Process until smooth.
Very slowly, while the machine is running, drizzle in the Chilean Arbosano - Ultra-Premium EVOO. Extreme patience must be taken with this slow process initially, as too much olive oil poured in at once will cause the sauce to break. After half of the oil has been successfully emulsified, the rest of the oil can be added in slightly faster - but still slowly and carefully!
Once the Chilean Arbosano - Ultra-Premium EVOO is completely poured in and emulsified, remove the aioli to a sealed container and refrigerate.
Makes approximately 2 cups.
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
½ cup Garlic Infused Olive Oil
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
8 oz. fresh Chevre
½ tsp. Salt
