Favorite Ballard Recipes

 It goes without saying that we know cheese and have learned how to use cheese to its greatest advantage. Listed below are some of our favorite recipes. 

Ballard's Idaho Golden Greek Bread-less Cocktail Sandwiches
By Chef Jane Deal 

• Fry bacon slices until they are crisp and set aside.
• Cut cheese into 1/4 inch slices.
• Warm up a clean, dry skillet over medium heat and add cheese slices in a single layer in pan. Fry on one side until cheese has browned, then turn cheese slices over and brown on the other side.
• Now taste a cooked slice of the cheese. (Get a hold of yourself at this point and try not to eat the rest of the cheese, so you can finish this recipe!)  
• Place slices on a warm plate, and continue to brown the rest of the cheese. Plate can be kept in a warm oven to keep the cheese from cooling off.  
• On a cooked cheese slice, layer pieces of bacon, avocado slices, tomatoes, and lettuce leaves. Drizzle some of the sauce over the top and secure another slice of cheese on top with a toothpick.
• Serve immediately.   

Sandwich Sauce

• Place all Sandwich sauce ingredients in blender or food processor and process until ingredients are well combined.
• Keep sauce in the refrigerator until ready to use.
