PARMESAN CHEESE DIP / SPREAD



Parmesan Cheese Dip / Spread image

This yummy recipe comes from my friend Elaine. She brought it to a party and after only one bite everyone was asking for the recipe. It is very good with your favorite crackers but is even better w/ sliced fresh bread. I think it would even be good over steamed broccoli as well. The next time I make it I plan to bake some in bite sized pastry shells and see how that turns out.

Time 35m

Yield 3 cups, 20-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (8 ounce) packages of softened cream cheese
8 ounces wedge parmesan cheese, shredded
1/4 cup minced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 huge scoop mayonnaise, NOT Miracle Whip

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together until well blended.
  • Bake in a small ungreased covered casserole dish for 20 minute @ 400 degrees.
  • Allow to cool a little before serving. Serve warm with your favorite crackers/bread.
  • A note about the Mayonnaise. She didn't give me a measurement but I would say start with about a 1/4 cup and add more if it still seems too thick. The mayonnaise adds flavor but it can make the dip too thin if you use to much.
