CHEESE SPREAD AKA BOTTOMLESS CHEESE CROCK



Cheese Spread Aka Bottomless Cheese Crock image

I saw this in a very old, old recipe book..the name escapes me. Anyways once this cheese crock is started, you keep it going by blending cheese remnants into it. And if additions keep pace with subtractions, you'll have a cheese spread that lasts almost indefinitely. Store the crock in the refrigerator. Before serving, let cheese soften at room temperature for about an hour.

Time 10m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons brandy

Steps:

  • Let cheeses stand at room temperature until soft.
  • Combine cheeses.
  • Add olive oil, mustard, garlic salt, and brandy.
  • Beat until well blended.
  • Pack into container, cover, and refrigerate for about a week before using the first time.
  • Adding to the Crock: Firm cheeses---such as Swiss, Jack, or any Chdeddar types---are fine. Shred and beat in while cheese in crock is soft, adding small amounts of olive oil or cream cheese for good consistency. Also add brandy, dry Sherry, Port, beer, or Kirsch, keeping the total not larger than the original proportion of brandy. Then let mixture age a few days before serving. Use it every week or two, saving part of original mixgture to keep crock going.

HERBED CHEESE SPREAD

Tastes just like the expensive Boursin® cheese spread you buy at the store. Reduced-fat cream cheese works well in this recipe. Delicious spread on crackers or as a fill on celery sticks. Good shelf life in the refrigerator. This can be eaten right way, but it's best if refrigerated for at least one day before serving.

Every time I make this quick blue cheese dip, someone asks for the recipe. It only requires a few items, so its a snap to put together. I often prepare the thick spread with Gorgonzola cheese and serve it with toasted pecans. -Sandy Schneider Naperville, Illinois
