Chechessee Creek
Club Truffle Deviled Eggs
Ingredients (Serves 6)
1 dozen whole eggs plus two egg yolks
1 tablespoon truffle oil
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Coleman’s Dry English Mustard
2 dashes Tabasco pepper sauce
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, minced
Salt and white pepper to taste
Directions [1] In a saucepan with hot water over high heat, add eggs to water, covering eggs and cook for 12 minutes at a rapid boil. Remove eggs from heat and run eggs under cold water for 10-15 minutes until eggs are cooled. [2] While the eggs are cooling, prepare truffle mayonnaise by whisking remaining two egg yolks until yolks are stiff and increased in volume by 20 percent. Slowly whisk in olive oil to the egg yolk mixture, ensuring that the oil is absorbed by the egg mixture before additional olive oil is added. Continue to incorporate olive oil, then season with Tabasco pepper sauce, salt, white pepper, parsley, and dry mustard. [3] Remove cooled eggs from water. Peel and slice eggs into two pieces and remove egg yolks, setting yolks aside. With a fork, blend egg yolks with the truffle mayonnaise until incorporated. [4] Arrange cooked egg whites on a flat surface and fill yolk area with prepared egg truffle blend. Garnish with fresh chives, parsley, or for something a little different, crispy pork rinds.

Sprout Momma
Spicy Vegan Pimento Cheese Ball
Ingredients (Cheese)
2 cups raw cashews
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
3-4 tablespoons nutritional yeast (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces vegan cream cheese (Trader Joe’s or Tofutti)
1 4 ounce jar pimento peppers, drained
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Ingredients (Coating)
1/4 cup raw walnuts or pecans, chopped
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 healthy pinch sea salt
Instructions [1] Place cashews in a bowl and cover with cool water. Soak overnight or for at least 6 hours. Once soaked, drain cashews thoroughly. [2] Add cashews, minced garlic, garlic powder, lemon zest, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt and olive oil to a food processor. Blend until very creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed. [3] Add vegan cream cheese, pimento peppers, smoked paprika and cayenne (optional). Blend once more until creamy and smooth. [4] Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon zest for tartness, nutritional yeast for cheesiness, garlic for zing, salt for saltiness, paprika for smokiness, or cayenne for heat. You want it to be super flavorful, so don’t be shy! [5] Place a fine mesh strainer (or colander) over a medium mixing bowl, and lay down two layers of cheesecloth (or a clean, fine, absorbent towel). [6] Use a spatula to scoop all of the cheese over the cheesecloth, then gather the corners and twist the top gently to form the cheese into a “disc.” Secure with a rubber band. [7] Place in refrigerator to set for at least 6 hours, preferably 12-24, or until semi-firm to the touch. [8] To serve, unwrap from cheesecloth and gently invert onto a serving platter. Reform with hands or cheesecloth as needed. [9] To make optional coating, mix together nuts, yeast, and spices. Gently roll the ball around in the mixture until coated. It is fragile, so handle gently. [10] Enjoy immediately with crackers, vegetables or tortilla chips.
