Boots& Bowties.

It’s all about simple summer recipes right now. We recently made these bad boys as a throwback to Bagel Bites and other childhood memories. So easy to make and customize and in literally, 10 minutes: 

1 pack of sour dough english muffins or bagels of choice

2 tomatoes, diced

4 cloves of garlic

1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

1 bag of shredded motzerella

pepperonis (or any of your favorite toppings)

basil (finely chopped)

salt & pepper

———————————————————————————————

preheat broiler

arrange english muffins on a cookie sheet

in a saucepan, sauté garlic and tomatoes in olive oil for 10-15 minutes 

spoon a teaspoon of the mixture over each english muffin

sprinkle mozzarella over each, add additional toppings 

bake in broiler for 3-5 min..enough for cheese to melt and muffins to brown

remove from broiler and sprinkle basil on top

BOOM.

You might not see him but he’s a big part of Boots&Bowties. He’s taking the pictures, he’s manning the grill, he’s recommending locations. He’s Dan Dan and he’s graduating - today! I don’t know anyone else who can sit in a room of people, drink a beer, listen to music, criticize our blog and study for a test all at the same time, as well as he can. 

You’re not our red headed step child, you’re our friend and we’re so proud of you. Congrats! 

Side note: We ask that you not use any plastic bags today to commemorate the occasion. It’ll mean a lot to him.
