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:

  • 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.

Attention, cheese lovers! This may be the best cheese spread you've ever had! My friend's mother gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. I always make it around the holidays, or for football and hockey game nights. Everyone begs for this recipe. Turn this into a pub spread by adding a half cup of your favorite dark ale. Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 (1 x 400ml jar)

Number Of Ingredients 5

250g extra mature cheddar cheese , chopped
140g butter
1 tbsp ale
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
1 thyme sprig (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the cheese, 100g butter and ale in a food processor. Blitz until creamy and well combined. Stir in the mustard, then pack into a large sterilised jar, ramekin or ceramic pot, making sure to eliminate any air pockets.
  • Melt the remaining butter and leave to sit for a minute to let the fat separate from the milk solids (these will form a milky puddle at the bottom). Pour the clear fat over the cheese, leaving the milk solids in the pan. Place a thyme sprig on top, if using, and chill for a few hours. The sealed cheese will keep for a couple of months in the fridge. Once you've cracked the buttery crust, use up within a week.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. The type of cheddar you use will greatly affect the flavor of your spread. Look for a sharp or extra sharp cheddar that is well-aged.
  • Shred the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the texture and flavor of your spread. Shredding the cheese yourself will ensure that you get a smooth, creamy spread.
  • Use unsalted butter. This will allow you to control the amount of salt in your spread. If you use salted butter, be sure to taste the spread before adding additional salt.
  • Add your favorite seasonings. You can add a variety of seasonings to your spread to create different flavor variations. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Chill the spread before serving. This will help the spread to firm up and make it easier to spread.

Conclusion:

Potted cheddar cheese spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its creamy texture and sharp flavor, potted cheddar cheese spread is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
