📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Grate the sharp cheddar cheese and bring it to room temperature to ensure it mixes easily.

2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and unsalted butter.

3. Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, mix until the ingredients are smooth and evenly blended.

4. Add the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine.

5. If the spread feels too thick, add the heavy cream one teaspoon at a time and mix until you reach the desired creamy consistency.

6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or pepper if preferred.

7. Transfer the cheese spread to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped chives for a fresh and vibrant touch.

8. Serve immediately with crackers, bread slices, or vegetable sticks. Alternatively, cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days before serving.
