The parents of Gen Alpha are faced with a very unique challenge: it seems like this generation of little humans– or broke besties, as they’re known in some circles–have tastes and preferences that greatly outweigh their earning potential. Not to worry though: Sargento Cheese is here to help with not just high quality cheeses, but creative ways to elevate your family’s dining experience to match both your fancy kid’s tastes and your budget.
Kids today have the privilege of having a greater sense of global awareness than any generation before them. The good news here is that they’re also more open to growing their palates. And this Mini Pizza Charcuterie Board allows for a stress free quick and easy recipe using Sargento® Whole Milk Low Moisture Mozzarella Cheese Shreds as well as Sargento® Swiss & Mild Cheddar slices to combine three of our favorites. It’s a fun and creative way to not only expand your family’s go-to menu, but start (or continue) to build on their cooking skills.
The ingredients you’ll need are likely already in your pantry or on your shopping list, as you can see in the full recipe below. And with a total prep time of just 25 minutes, this fun meal will easily fit into your packed after school schedule.
