• ▢ 2 slices Pumpernickle Bread
• ▢ 1 oz Aged Orange Cheddar Cheese
• ▢ 2 tsp hot pepper jelly
• ▢ 2 slices orange tomato
• ▢ Melted butter for brushing

• Using Halloween cookie cutters, cut your bread into Pumpkin shapes.

• Brush the melted butter onto the outside sides of the pairs of bread (brushing the melted butter on allows you to use less!) Spread the inside of one slice with the jelly, top with the tomatoes and load it up with cheese. Top with the other piece of bread (butter side up).

• Preheat your pan to medium heat. Add the grilled cheese and cook for about 2-4 minutes until golden brown. Carefully flip and cook on the other side another 2-4 minutes. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Soup

• ▢ 1 tbsp butter
• ▢ 2 tbsp olive oil
• ▢ 1 small onion diced
• ▢ 2 carrots peeled and finely diced
• ▢ 3 cloves garlic minced
• ▢ 2 tbsp all purpose flour
• ▢ 1 tbsp tomato paste
• ▢ 3 containers of San Marzano tomatoes 28 oz containers
• ▢ 1 L reduced sodium chicken stock
• ▢ 2 tbsp brown sugar or to taste
• ▢ 1/2 cup 2% milk
• ▢ 1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano cheese finely grated
• ▢ Salt and pepper to taste

Eyeballs

• ▢ 1 container bocconcini cheese balls
• ▢ 32 mini olives stuffed with pimento sliced in half

Soup

• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and carrots and saute for about 8-10 minutes, or until very tender. Once tender, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

• Add the flour and tomato taste and stir until the colour darkens and it coats all of the vegetables.

• Then add in the tomatoes, chicken stock, and sugar and whisk until there are no more lumps and it’s well combined.

• Bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat to medium low, and simmer, uncovered, for about 45 minutes or until all of the vegetables are very tender.

• Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Strain back into the pot and stir in the milk and cheese. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper, to taste.

Eyeballs

• Using a small pairing knife, cut out a little crater of cheese from the cheese ball with a large enough diameter to fit the olive but don’t go down further than 1/2 way down. Stuff the olive half into the cheese ball. Continue with the remaining bocconcini balls. Store in a air tight container until ready to eat.

Assembly

• To serve, ladle out the serving of soup and drop a few eyeballs into it. Serve with the grilled cheese for dunking.
