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!

I'm not a fan of Dijon mustard, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cheese spread still turned out delicious.

I'm allergic to port wine, so I substituted white wine instead. It turned out great!

This cheese spread is way too sharp for my taste. I think I'll stick to my old recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheese spread turned out too runny. I think I might have added too much milk.
