Give them a try!
Parmesan Crusted Grilled Cheese:
Drizzle some Bari Olive Oil into a pan, grab two pieces of your favorite fresh bread and toast them up, place your favorite melty cheeses in between the bread slices and then sprinkle some parmesan blend onto the outside of the bread slices as you finish toasting them up and melting the cheese, this will give an extra savory cheesy taste to your grilled cheese.
Roasted Tomato Soup:
You'll need something to dip your delicious grilled cheese into, so try our Rosa Maria blend in a hearty roasted tomato soup! This blend has notes of Rosemary, Oregano, and Garlic perfect flavors to pair with roasted tomato.
In a sheet pan roast some cherry and Roma tomatoes, a small onion, garlic cloves drizzled in Bari EVOO, blend these and add to some chicken or vegetable broth and some heavy cream, include some dried basil and red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste.
Sicilian Crusted Chicken:
Need an idea for dinner? Add this Sicilian blend to a bowl with some flour, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl add some breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Lastly, you'll need a bowl with egg and buttermilk, and lightly season with salt and pepper!
Flatten some chicken breasts, rinse, and pat dry. You will coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then run through the egg mixture and finish it off in the breadcrumb mixture you can opt for frying or drizzle with some EVOO and bake it in the oven. This will give you a delicious dinner with an extremely flavorful crust!
Tuscan Veggie Quiche
The Tuscan spice dip has notes of Garlic, basil, tomato, and green bell pepper. Fresh spice flavors that will elevate a warm breakfast quiche. Drizzle some Bari EVOO into a hot pan and sauté veggies of your choice, we recommend green and red bell pepper, mushrooms, diced spinach, and onions. Whisk together some eggs and buttermilk, add the Tuscan spice dip and a bit of salt and pepper to taste into the egg mixture. Add the cooled sauteed veggies into the egg mixture then add this into an already baked crust lined tart pan to bake.
