PARMESAN CHEESE DIP / SPREAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together until well blended.
• Bake in a small ungreased covered casserole dish for 20 minute @ 400 degrees.
• Allow to cool a little before serving. Serve warm with your favorite crackers/bread.
• A note about the Mayonnaise. She didn't give me a measurement but I would say start with about a 1/4 cup and add more if it still seems too thick. The mayonnaise adds flavor but it can make the dip too thin if you use to much.

SALMON DIP WITH CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Add the salt, curry powder, basil and pepper; mix well. Gently stir in salmon and onions. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with crackers and vegetables.

PARMESAN CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• Allow the cream cheese and butter to soften.
• Add the other ingredients and blend well.
• This tastes better if its allowed to set in the refridgerator overnight so the flavors can blend together.
• Using REAL parmeggiano reggiano cheese makes this sensational, but the simple grated kind from the supermarket tastes very good as well.

PEA DIP WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Put peas in a pan with just enough stock or water to come half way up their height. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until peas are bright green and tender. Put all but 1 cup of peas in a food processor or blender, and add just enough cooking liquid to start purée. When purée is relatively smooth, transfer it to a bowl and stir in remaining cup of peas.
• Add pine nuts, cheese, garlic, mint and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; taste and adjust seasoning, then thin with more liquid if necessary. Serve or refrigerate.
