Best Holiday Cheddar Spread Recipes
FIRESIDE CHEESE SPREAD
When our family and friends get together for holidays or other occasions, I serve this appetizer. It's always a success. If you prefer, try a Swiss cheese spread instead of the cheddar. And, if you enjoy garlic, substitute a small clove of minced garlic for the garlic powder. -Debbie Terenzini-Wilkerson, Lusby, Maryland

Steps:
- Grate extra sharp white cheddar. You'll need 2 cups. You can use a food processor or a hand grater to accomplish this. I have done it with both. The food processor just makes the process faster.
- Wash and chop 1 full bunch of green onions.
- Measure and set aside 1 cup of mayonnaise.
- Chop the pecans (to desired piece size). You'll need 3/4 cup chopped pieces. Tip: you can find small bags of pieces already chopped in the baking aisle of most grocery stores if you don't want to buy a large bag. I prefer to buy bulk bags since I do a lot of baking.
- Measure out 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper and set aside.
- Add 2 cups grated extra sharp white cheddar to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. I prefer to mix mine in my kitchen-aid stand mixer, but by hand works just as well.
- Combine 1 cup mayonnaise to shredded cheese and mix until mostly incorporated.
- Add chopped pecans and mix again.
- Incorporate cayenne pepper to taste. 1/2 teaspoon is recommended and doesn't offer extreme heat.
- Plate for immediate serving or cover and refrigerate for later.
- Enjoy!
ZIPPY CRANBERRY CHEDDAR SPREAD
This zesty spread is a holiday hit! It's easy to make and tastes even better the day after you make it. Serve with crackers or slices of baguette. This spread is zippy, so if you don't like spice, reduce cayenne and dry mustard by half.

CANADIAN SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE SPREAD
Attention, cheese lovers! This may be the best cheese spread you've ever had! My friend's mother gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. I always make it around the holidays, or for football and hockey game nights. Everyone begs for this recipe. Turn this into a pub spread by adding a half cup of your favorite dark ale. Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.

HOLIDAY CHEDDAR SPREAD
This cheddar spread was a hit! All the taste testers said it's the beer that makes this dip so good. This would be great to serve as an appetizer during the holidays, but would also be great at a tailgate or game night party. Yummy! Edith hails from Canada, so the recipe calls for old cheddar. In the U.S., try using a sharp...

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.
