If you want an appetizer to impress, try this cheese stuffed focaccia filled with @cabotcreamery Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese #cabotpartner. 🧀🙌 It’s naturally aged, so it’s naturally lactose free, but full of so much flavor that I nut only stuff the focaccia with it but also sprinkle it all over the top. It transforms my focaccia recipe for the holidays in something even more delicious and decadent! #sogood! #cabotcreamery #stuffedfocaccia #focacciarecipe

INGREDIENTS
3½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ cups warm water
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 (8-ounce) block Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, water, 3 tablespoons of the oil, yeast and salt. Using a rubber spatula, stir all of the ingredients together until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
2. Using your hands, gently shape and knead the dough together until it forms a neat ball. (You don’t need to really knead, you’re just bringing the dough together.) Cover the bowl with a clean, slightly damp kitchen towel. Set the bowl aside at room temperature until the dough has risen to double its volume, at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
3. Coat a 9 × 9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and, using your fingers, spread it over the surface of the pan until it reaches each edge. Cover the dough once again and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes longer.
4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F.
5. Sprinkle half the shredded cheese on top of the dough and folder over in half. Using your fingers, gently press dimples all over the surface of the dough and sprinkle the remaining half of cheese on top of the dough. 
6. Bake the focaccia until it’s golden brown and fragrant, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the focaccia from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Slice into 12 squares and serve with the labneh (if using).

If you have extra mashed potatoes after holiday dinners turn them into pancakes with @AthenosFeta cheese. #AthenosPartner It’s a way to repurpose leftovers and give them a new whole flavor! Feta is an easy swap for other cheeses you might use in traditional holiday recipes as a way to add a modern twist with a pop of flavor. It gets melty in the potato pancakes and adds a little tang and creaminess that just makes it #sogood! #AthenosFeta #MashedPotatoPancakes #FoodNeedsFeta

INGREDIENTS
2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
1 large egg
½ cup Athenos crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons green onions, plus for more serving
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Greek yogurt, for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, egg, feta cheese, flour, green onions and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Scoop about ⅓ cup of the mixture. Then roll it into a ball and flatten it out with the palm of your hands. The mixture will make about 6-8 pancakes.
3. Preheat a large skillet with the olive oil and cook the pancakes in two batches.
4. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the pancakes are golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt and pepper while they’re hot.
5. Serve with greek yogurt or sour cream and green onions, if desired.

If you have leftover mashed potatoes, turn them into a cheesy appetizer for the holidays by adding @RothCheese Havarti and rolling them in breadcrumbs. #RothPartner They get crisp on the outside and ultra cheesy on the inside, making for a delicious dish everyone will reach for. With so many cheeses to choose from, I always #ReachForRoth when I’m grocery shopping because I know Roth Cheese, which is made in Wisconsin with milk from local farms, will always taste so good, and will always make me look so good when entertaining friends and family. Find Roth Havarti and other Roth cheeses in the deli section at a grocery store near you. #RothCheese

INGREDIENTS 
1 (8-ounce) block Roth Creamy Havarti cheese
3 cups mashed potatoes, chilled
½ cup flour
1 large egg
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
Avocado oil spray
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut the Havarti cheese into 48 cubes. Reserve half of the cubes for a cheese board and set the other half aside. 
2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg. In a separate bowl, add the panko bread crumbs.
3. Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of the mashed potatoes, stuff cheese inside, then roll the balls and dip them in the flour. Set aside. 
4. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
5. Use a fork to place each ball in the whisked egg, and then carefully remove the ball from the whisked egg making sure to drain any excess egg. Dip in the bowl of bread crumbs and turn until fully coated in the breadcrumbs.
6. Grease a mini muffin tin with avocado oil spray. Place each mashed potato ball into a muffin cup to hold its shape while baking.
7. Bake the mashed potato balls for 15 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp on the outside. Use a spoon to push in any melted cheese that oozes out.
8. Let the mashed potato balls cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with a dip, if desired.
