New Year’s Eve is around the corner and these Whipped Ricotta and Dilled Brussels Sprouts Bruschetta will be great your party. A quick prep using Paisley Farms Dilled Brussels Sprouts can be found at Kroger, Wal-Mart, Costco and many other places. Thanks to them for providing their whole line of product for me to taste and develop some delicious recipes.
I am taking some time off this week after 3 weeks of constant parties, concerts and invites. Who knew that the month of December could be full of activities? In fact, I forget every year.
This year I hosted a Christmas party for our choir party. Depending on the party, I usually like providing the meal. In this instance, we had people sign up for appetizers, main meals, salads, side dishes, and desserts.

Despite that, I find it hard just providing my home so I felt inspired to making a few dishes. I had a few items to choose from The Paisley Farms, from Dilled Brussels Sprouts, Pickled Sweet Beets to Four Bean Salad. The company, which was created in 1945 in Ohio, takes family recipes that are enjoyed as appetizers, salads, or sides and bottled them for all to enjoy.
All their products are gluten-free and can be enjoyed in many ways. I decided to take the jarred Dilled Brussels Sprouts and place them on top of a savory and crunchy baguette. I roasted some garlic and whipped up some ricotta. I toasted slices of baguette and added the whipped ricotta. I then added the chopped Brussels sprouts and garnished with Himalayan salt, lemon zest, and truffle olive oil. It was a heavenly bite.
