Episode Thirty-One
The Cottage Cheese Dip That Broke the Blender | A Last Minute Holiday Appetizer
Michael raids a fan’s chaotic fridge and MacGyvers a legitimately delicious holiday appetizer out of cottage cheese, mortadella, olives, chili crunch, pita, roasted garlic, and half a dairy aisle. The blender nearly quits. The hosts heckle him nonstop. Mortadella becomes “meat chips.” And somehow, after 30 loud, hilarious minutes, the dip works.

In This Episode:​​
-
Michael Symon takes on Jenna from Staten Island’s ambitious (borderline chaotic) fridge and creates a full holiday appetizer from scratch.
-
Using cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, roasted garlic, tahini, chili crunch, olive brine, and a pile of random fridge finds, he builds a savory, French-onion-adjacent dip—then fries potatoes, crisps mortadella into chips, shaves carrots, and toasts pita over an open flame.
-
It’s the ultimate last-minute holiday dish: unexpected, high-flavor, and ready in under 30 minutes—blender meltdown optional.
