FIRESIDE CHEESE SPREAD

Fireside Cheese Spread image

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
