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.

This cheddar spread was a hit! All the taste testers said it's the beer that makes this dip so good.

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.

Tips:

  • For a smoother spread, use a food processor to blend the cheese and butter until creamy.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the cheese and butter together with a fork until well combined.
  • Add your favorite herbs and spices to taste. Some popular options include chives, parsley, dill, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • If you want a more tangy spread, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
  • Serve the potted cheese spread with crackers, bread, or vegetables. It's also great as a sandwich spread.

Conclusion:

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