I couldn't find my favorite crock of cheese in my local market so I went on a quest to find a recipe. If you like a good tangy cheese spread, you might give the recipe below a try! Its great with toasted breads of all kinds, chips and crackers. Read more . It will last up to three months in the fridge and makes a nice Hostess gift, too! Ingredients:
1 1/2 pound(s) (6 cups) extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 can (12-ounce) beer |
6 tablespoon(s) (3/4 stick) margarine or butter, softened |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper |
Directions:
1. In large bowl, combine cheese and beer.
2. Let stand 30 minutes or until cheese softensat room temperature.
3. In a food processor with knife blade attached, blend cheese mixture, margarine or butter, and remaining ingredients 3 to 5 minutes until smooth.
4. Pack cheese into crocks or decorative airtight containers and store in refrigerator up to 1 month or in freezer up to 3 months.
5. To serve, let cheese stand at room temperature 30 minutes or until soft enough to spread.
6. **** You can make other flavors by substituting the cheddar for swiss cheese and adding sherry or a good dry red wine.
7. I've added fresh chopped parsley, garlic, and other flavored mustards in the past with good results. If you like the mustard flavor, try adding an extra tablespoon of mustard or two to the mix. A bit of horseradish is great, too! You can also add finely chopped vegetables as you would for a cheese ball but remember that they may spoil while in the cheese spread so I suggest that you use up any cheese with an addition such as onions or olives within a week. .. Enjoy!
