Pizza dough or store-bought flatbread

4 eggs

4 slices bacon

4-6 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

1 tbsp. chopped basil, plus one sprig as garnish

Freshly ground pepper, salt

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Roll out the pizza dough to desired thickness or roll out the store-bought flatbread

3. Place the rolled out pizza dough or store-bought flatbread on the prepared baking sheet. Top with Jarlsberg® Cheese shredded . Make 4 small wells with the cheese, and crack an egg into each well. Arrange the bacon around the eggs, and top with the chopped basil leaves and the tomato halves. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the eggs are just set and the pizza crust is golden.

This tart is sure to make a perfect appetizer or side dish for your special meal:

Asparagus Jarlsberg® Tart

2 cups Jarlsberg®Lite Cheese, shredded

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

1 lb. asparagus

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves

Salt, pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Roll out the puff pastry into a 16-by-10 inch rectangle, trimming uneven edges. Place on baking sheet. With a knife, lightly score the pastry dough 1-inch from the edges to mark a rectangle. Using a fork, pierce dough inside the markings at ½-inch intervals. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.

3. Remove the pastry shell from the oven, and sprinkle with the shredded Jarlsberg® Cheese. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit crosswise inside the pastry shell – arrange in a single layer over the Jarlsberg® Cheese, alternating ends and tips. Brush with oil, sprinkle thyme leaves, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until spears are tender, about 20 minutes.

3. Place the tomato halves over the arugula, and top with the shrimp salad. Serve with toasted crostini.

About Jarlsberg ® cheese:

In 1956, we created Jarlsberg® cheese, using an original Norwegian recipe. Why does Jarlsberg® cheese taste so mild, nutty and delicious? It's all part of the legend...and Norway's most guarded recipe!

###

Roasted New Potato Bites

½ lb. new/red potatoes, halved

3 strips bacon

3 tbsp. chives, minced

1 cup shredded Jalrsberg®

Olive oil

Salt, pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Roast the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes until the edges start to brown and the potatoes soften.

2. While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon until crisp. When cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon into bacon bits.

3. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Top them with the shredded Jarlsberg and return to the oven for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Take the potatoes out and top them with the bacon bits and chives.
