Canadian Sharp Cheddar Cheese Spread Recipes

CHEDDAR CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; beat until smooth. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Serve with crackers.

HOLIDAY CHEDDAR SPREAD

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.
