Tips:

  • The type of cheese you use will significantly impact the flavor of the spread. For a sharp, tangy flavor, use a hard cheese like cheddar or Parmesan. For a milder, creamier flavor, use a soft cheese like cream cheese or ricotta.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the cheese and butter together with a fork until smooth.
  • You can adjust the amount of garlic and onion powder to taste. If you like a more pronounced flavor, add more; if you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
  • The spread can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. It can also be frozen for up to two months.
  • Serve the spread with crackers, bread, or vegetables. It can also be used as a sandwich spread or dip.
