Edible Witch’s Broom

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3.5 (ZReboot3.5) recipe.

Here’s an idea from the Plan Z kitchen. This inspiration recipe offers an easy and interactive way to add a little magic to your meals around Halloween!

Ingredients:

• chives
• deli-sliced cheese: you can use any kind but softer cheeses like gruyere, American and muenster work best. Or you can use string cheese. Cut each piece in half and “fray” the edges.
• pretzel sticks

Instructions:

Step 1

Clean and trim the chives. Place one of each ingredient on a cutting board as shown. You may need to re-shape the cheese slice to resemble a long rectangle.

Step 2

Roll the cheese around the pretzel stick. Squish the cheese together a little bit so it doesn’t unroll. Softer cheeses at room temperature are easier to work with. Then wrap the chive around the cheese.  On the last loop, wrap the chive around itself and pull snug. Keep in mind – the chives are for decoration. They are not supposed to keep the broom together. The soft cheese does that on its own.

Step 3

Cut vertical strips into the cheese to achieve the look of a witch’s broom. The length of these cuts should be no longer than half the length of cheese.

Share and enjoy!
