SOFT BAKED PRETZELS AND A CHEESY MUSTARD DIP



Soft Baked Pretzels and a Cheesy Mustard Dip image

Who doesn't like pretzels and cheese dip. This is simple, easy, quick and a great appetizer. Try MNF (Monday Night Football), a Sunday tail gate, or just a pot luck dinner. Just easy. If you don't want salt, pepper, poppy seeds, parmesan, lots of other topping can be put on the pretzel if you don't want salt..

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Kid Friendly

Time 40m

Yield 24 pretzels, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (11 ounce) can pillsbury breadsticks
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons kosher salt (or you can you poppy seeds, or even grated parmesan, use your favorite pretzel toppings, I prefer ju)
8 ounces Velveeta cheese (I like spicy)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (you can add more if you want more tang)
3 tablespoons dark beer (if you don't want to use beer, you can use milk, but the beer to me just really adds a nice flavor)
1 teaspoon grated onion
2 tablespoons diced bacon, sauteed (optional as a garnish)

Steps:

  • Cheese sauce -- Add the beer (or milk), cheese, mustard, and onion to a small sauce pan and heat up. Garnish with the sauteed bacon.
  • Bread -- Separate the 12 bread sticks and then cut each lengthwise in half to make 24 bread sticks. Now roll each one to make a small rope. Now make a knot. I don't care how you make the knot, use any design you want. I like to make a '"O" the cross the bottom and twist and then flip the cross piece back over the "O", but again, just make a knot, it isn't important that they look perfect.
  • Brush the breadstick with egg and then add the salt. Bake 375 for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve with the cheese sauce. The perfect quick appetizer.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your pretzel spread. Use fresh herbs, grated cheese, and sour cream for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pretzels: Pretzels should be slightly crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. If you overcook them, they will become hard and dry.
  • Serve the spread warm: Pretzel spread is best served warm and melted. This will allow the flavors to blend together and create a smooth and creamy dip.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill add a pop of color and flavor to the spread. They also make it look more appealing.
  • Get creative with your toppings: You can top your pretzel spread with a variety of different ingredients, such as bacon bits, crumbled sausage, or diced tomatoes. Get creative and experiment with different flavors to find your favorite combination.

Conclusion:

Pretzel spread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Whether you serve it with pretzels, chips, or vegetables, pretzel spread is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give pretzel spread a try.
