    Savory Blueberry Flatbread Pizza

    Main Courses

    Disclosure: This post was made in partnership with the US Highbush Blueberry Council.

    Roses are red….

    Blueberries are blue….

    We’re official spokespeople for the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council, which means more blueberry recipes coming from us to you! 

    (Did we butcher that or did we nail it?)

    In case you missed it, last week we announced that we will be partnering with the US Highbush Blueberry Council for a second year in a row. We got incredible feedback from the recipes we developed last year —this Bite-Sized Blueberry Vegan Cheesecake and this Warm and Cozy Blueberry Crumble were crowd favorites— and we want to create more.

    We’re kicking off this partnership with this incredible Savory Blueberry Flatbread Pizza. For this recipe, we reduce the blueberries into a subtly sweet sauce, which pairs perfectly with the the savory ricotta and gorgonzola cheeses.

    This simple yet satisfying dish is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It also works well for a fancy dinner party where you want to impress your guests with minimal work. We used naan bread for this recipe, but pita bread works well too! This makes a single serving, but just scale up ingredients if you’re feeding more people.

    One of the reasons we are champions for blueberries is that these little blue dynamos are a nutrition powerhouse. One cup of blueberries provides a good source of dietary fiber and vitamin C. And that pretty blue color? This comes from anthocyanins, a water-soluble pigment that imparts colors ranging from blue and purple to shades of red.

    Ready to give this recipe a try? Thought so. Start by preheating the oven to 400F. In a small pot over low heat, add the blueberries and apple cider vinegar then cook for two to three minutes, slowly mashing the blueberries with a spoon to release its juices. Once that’s done, you should have a thick blueberry sauce (which smells divine). Set the sauce to the side.

    Next, place the flatbread on a baking sheet, and using a knife, spread the ricotta cheese onto the bread, then drizzle the blueberry sauce, add the gorgonzola and onions, and bake for 10 minutes. Top with fresh arugula for a peppery finish. Last but not least, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and olive oil, to taste!

    Crispy on the outside, oozy on the inside, we are Crispy on the outside, oozy on the inside, we are using @cabotcheese seriously sharp cheddar to make these bolitas de yuca for your superbowl turn up! A mouthwatering Dominican appetizer made with my favorite root vegetable, these bolitas feed a crowd and pair perfectly with Cabot cheddar, which is naturally aged and 100% lactose free. See below for the full recipe! #cabotcreamery 

Ingredients 
🧀 1 pound yuca, peeled and chopped into small chunks 
Salt
🧀1 tablespoon butter 
🧀1/2 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped 
🧀1/4 teaspoon of garlic
🧀1/4 teaspoon of paprika 
🧀4 ounces of Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese, cut into small 1/2” chunks 

Directions:
🧀Preheat the oven to 450F.
🧀Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil and add the yuca. Boil for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain the yuca, remove all of the fibrous stems and add to a medium sized bowl. 
🧀Mash the yuca well with butter, jalapeño and spices until completely smooth. Adjust for salt and set aside until cooled. 
🧀Grab about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the yuca mix, put the cheddar cheese in the center and roll it up into a ball. Repeat for the remaining yuca and cheese. 
🧀Add the yuca balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet OR air fryer and spray with oil. Bake for 25 minutes (or air fry for 10-12 minutes) until crispy and browned on the outside. Enjoy on their own or with your favorite sauce! 

TIPS: 
👉🏽If the balls are extra sticky, wash and dry your hands throughout the rolling process - this will help. 
👉🏽If your yuca mash is bulky, add a little bit of water while mashing to make it smoother.
    Ya’ll, let’s normalize checking in on people w Ya’ll, let’s normalize checking in on people when we see them versus commenting on their bodies. It’s just not it. Over the holidays, I had to check several family members about this. For many including myself, it’s awkward, uncomfortable and even if well-intentioned, it can be triggering for people. And you just never know what’s going on (maybe they’re sick, maybe they’re on medication, maybe they’re pregnant and don’t want you in their business)

What are some other ones you’ve been told? The latest on my roster has been “damn that ass is fat” 🤣 (can’t make this up)
