Ingredients
- 1/2 4-ounce block of cream cheese, thoughtfully softened to room temperature, ensuring a smooth and velvety consistency when incorporated into the recipe.
- 3/4 tablespoon of Dijon mustard meticulously prepared using hand-picked mustard seeds and a delicate blend of spices, offering a tangy and slightly spicy kick to the dish.
- 1/4 cup of finely shredded mozzarella cheese crafted from premium whole milk, imparting a creamy and stretchy texture to the dish.
- 7/8 cup of meticulously shredded aged cheddar cheese divided, carefully selected for its sharp and robust flavor profile, adding a delightful tang to the dish.
- 1 teaspoon of high-quality garlic powder skillfully ground from fresh garlic cloves, infusing the dish with a rich and aromatic essence.
- 1/2 large egg mixed with 1/2 tablespoon of water, carefully whisked to create an egg wash, adding a shiny and golden finish to the biscuits.
- 2 tablespoons of pale ale beer carefully selected for its distinct hoppy notes, preferably from renowned breweries like Sierra Nevada, contributing a unique and complex flavor to the dish.
- Kosher salt hand-harvested and free from additives, used to enhance the overall taste and balance the flavors of the dish.
- Coarse salt thoughtfully sourced and hand-crushed, used as a finishing touch to add a delightful crunch and burst of flavor to the dish.
- 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped chives sourced from an aromatic herb garden, adding a fresh and onion-like flavor to enhance the overall taste of the dish, with extra for garnish.
- 1/2 8.15-ounce can of refrigerated biscuits, carefully crafted using premium ingredients, providing a soft and flaky texture to the dish.
- 1 tablespoon of baking soda ensuring the perfect rise and texture of the biscuits.
- Freshly ground black pepper meticulously hand-crushed for its bold and aromatic flavor, adding a subtle spicy note to the recipe.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, chives, garlic powder, beer, and ¼ tsp each salt and pepper. Mix until completely combined.
- Roll out biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛-inch thick. Cut out circles of dough with a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the top of each circle with egg wash. Combine baking soda and remaining ¾ cup cheddar in a small bowl, then sprinkle over top of each biscuit. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Bake until golden brown and cooked through about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving warm with Pretzel Ring Beer Cheese Dip.
Notes
- You can also make the pretzel rings ahead of time and store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
- If you’re looking for a spicier dip, add some hot sauce or diced jalapenos.
- To get an even crispier crust on your pretzel rings, brush them with melted butter before baking.
