Food Processor Cheese Spread Recipes

PIMIENTO CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• Puree 1/3 cup sliced pimientos (drained) in a blender or food processor until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Add 3 cups finely grated sharp cheddar and beat with a mixer until combined. Beat in 1/4 cup mayonnaise.

OLIVE AND GARLIC SOFT CHEESE SPREAD WITH WHOLE-GRAIN BAGUETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven 425 degrees F.
• Place olives in food processor and grate in garlic, add cream cheese and ricotta cheese. Pulse the cheese and olives into a fairly smooth spread. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with hazelnuts. Toast the bread on a baking sheet 5 to 10 minutes to lightly crisp. Surround the spread with bread, pita crisps and celery.

FROMAGE FORT

Steps:

• Remove any rinds from hard cheeses. Grate hard cheeses and cut others into 1/2-inch cubes. Place cheese, wine, butter, herbs, and garlic in a food processor and blend until smooth, approximately 2 minutes. Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 1 hour for a firmer consistency. This can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

PIMIENTO CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• Place the drained pimientos in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Using an electric mixer, combine the pimientos and cheese, beating until smooth. Beat in the mayonnaise. Spread on slices of white sandwich bread while the mixture is room temperature. Trim the bread crusts and cut the sandwiches into triangles.

FOOD PROCESSOR CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• 1. Combine all ingredients except olive oil in food processor.
• 2. Pulse chop until well mixed, gradually adding olive oil until it reaches desired consistency.
• 3. Enjoy with crackers, crusty bread, or pita.

BLUE-CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• In a regular or mini food processor, pulse cream cheese until smooth. Add blue cheese and process until fully combined. If needed, pulse in water, 1 teaspoon at a time, to reach a spreadable consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
