Hi, I'm Leah Schaefer and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to make
my party dips. So any time I'm going to a party and especially around the holiday's,
I'll typically try to bring a couple dips along. Now, honestly most of the things I
make dip wise to bring to these parties my husband won't eat because he doesn't do vegetables.
I know it's sad isn't it? But, that's how I came up with the idea for this dip, you
know what better for men to eat honestly than sausage and pizza flavors. So I'm going to
go ahead and go through the ingredients and like most of my recipes a lot of these ingredients
you already have on hand or in your pantry. So the first thing we're going to do is we
have some baguette; we're going to toast up in the oven with some garlic and olive oil,
that's going to use to dip into the dips. We have some cream cheese, some Parmesan cheese,
and a three or four cheese Italian blend, whatever your grocery happens to have. My
grocery happens to have a blend of garlic pesto Monterrey Jack, that's where you get
the flexsive color from; Asigo, Parmesan and Romano cheese. We have some tomato sauce;
it's going to give it that pizza base in flavor. Then we have some sausage. Now I just went
to my meat counter at the grocery and they gave me a mixture of hot Italian and country
sausage. To add just a little bit more heat, we're going to use some red pepper and then
we're going to have some fennel to give it that nice Italian earthy flavor. For the other
spices that we're going to add, we have some dry basil leaves, some dry parsley and dry
oregano. Now since this is a dip, I'm fine using the dried spices. For the baguette,
we're going to use some olive oil and we're going to put some garlic in there as well
and then we're just going to season the whole thing with some sea salt and crushed black
pepper.
