When we think of pumpkins we think of Halloween, but pumpkins are also for Thanksgiving! You serve this delicious cheese dip IN a pumpkin! It tastes delicious and looks fun!
OK – let’s get cooking!
Here’s How you Do it:
First, you need to start with the bread sticks. Preheat the oven to 350° and then open the bread dough. Spread it out on a cutting board and then cut into strips that are about 4 inches long.
Lay the sticks on a cookie sheet that has been covered with parchment paper.
Combine the garlic with the butter (melt it first) and brush onto the bread sticks. Next, sprinkle the sticks with parmesan cheese and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes – or until the are golden brown.
Next, scoop out pulp from the pumpkin – and save those seed! They are delicious toasted [7].
Melt the butter in a small sauce pan and stir in the flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until the flour smells nutty and is starting to brown slightly.
Using a wire whisk, stir in the cream, seasonings and pumpkin and keep whisking it all until it’s well incorporated.
Let it simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes, then stir in the mozzarella, then the cheddar and keep stirring until it’s fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
