Ingredients
- 24 Laughing Cow Spreadable Cheese Wedges
- 12 Pretzel Sticks
- 1 tbs Fresh Italian Parsley minced
- 1 tbs Fresh Basil minced
- 1 tbs Fresh Oregano minced
- 1 tbs Fresh Rosemary minced
- 1 tbs Fresh Thyme minced
- t tbs Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Instructions
- Finely mince fresh Italian Parsley, Basil, Oregano, Rosemary, and Thyme and add them to a wide, shallow bowl along with Red Pepper Flakes. Then, use a fork to combine everything. Set the bowl aside until ready to use.
- Partially unwrap one Laughing Cow Spreadable Cheese Wedge by removing the foil from the front and bottom. Break a pretzel stick in half and insert the half into the center of the bottom of the cheese wedge. Carefully remove the rest of the foil and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the tops of the cheese wedges with a pinch of Garlic Powder.
- Holding the pretzel, carefully place the cheese wedge into the prepared herbs. Roll the cheese wedge around several times until all the sides are coated in the herb mixture.
- Place the coated cheese wedge on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat steps two through four with the remaining cheese wedges. Serve immediately.
- Yield 24 servings
Tips/Notes
- The cheese will get soft very quickly, so it's best to put most of it in the refrigerator. You should work with the wedges in batches, only a couple at a time.
- If the cheese wedges begin to crack or separate, gently use your fingers to press the cheese back together.
