Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c old cheddar cheese, grated
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
4 oz butter, room temperature
1/4 c beer, non-alcohol beer, white wine or buttermilk
1 pinch black pepper
1 small onion, minced finely
sprig parsley or sprinkle paprika to decorate

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl or in food processor, combine softened cream cheese and butter until thoroughly blended.
  • 2. Add pinch pepper and just enough liquid (beer, non-alcohol beer or white wine) to make the cream cheese mixture fluffy.
  • 3. Add grated old Cheddar cheese and combine thoroughly. You may need to add just a bit more liquid so that it retains nice texture, but not to worry if it's a bit thick and heavy. It still tastes great!
  • 4. Add onion, but combine only until blended in. If using food processor, pulse on/off a couple of times, but do not overwork or onion taste can become overwhelming.
  • 5. Spoon into a bowl and sprinkle with a parsley sprig or some paprika so that it looks pretty. Remove from fridge about 20 minutes before serving. Serve with crackers.

Perfect for the Holidays, or, anytime!

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

CHEDDAR CHEESE BASE
1 lb sharp cheddar, very finely grated
3/4 c half and half
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or ground white pepper
PORT WINE SWIRL
1/2 c your favorite, sweet, port wine
1 pkg knox unflavored gelatine
1/4 c parmesan cheese, finely grated

Steps:

  • 1. Using room temperature wine, place in small bowl and add gelatine; mix well. Add parmesan cheese and dissolve by stirring constantly with a small whisk. Set aside and let gelatine form.
  • 2. Heat half & half in a saucepan until bubbles form around edge of pan; do not boil.
  • 3. Place grated cheddar in food processor. Slowly add half & half and mix until cheese is smooth and silky. Add salt and pepper.
  • 4. In a serving bowl, place 1/3 of the cheese mixture on the bottom. Dollop 1/3 of the port wine "jelly" on to the cheese. Using a chopstick, "marble" the port, but not mixing completely with the cheddar. Repeat this step two more times. Remember, the last time you do this step is your "presentation". Swirl carefully!
  • 5. Chill for at least 6 hours so the flavors can marry. When ready to serve, let come up to [nearly] room temperature. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor. A medium cheddar will also work, but the spread will be less flavorful.
  • If you don't have cream cheese, you can substitute an equal amount of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • Add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the spread for a savory flavor.
  • If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to the spread.
  • Serve the spread with crackers, vegetables, or bread.

Conclusion:

This Canadian sharp cheddar cheese spread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in just a few minutes. The spread is creamy, flavorful, and has a slight kick from the Dijon mustard. It is sure to be a hit with your guests.
