Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams sharp cheddar cheese
- 115 grams cream cheese
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 60 grams walnuts (or pecans), finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Grate the sharp cheddar cheese finely and allow it to reach room temperature for better blending.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and unsalted butter. Use a hand mixer or wooden spoon to blend until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the finely chopped nuts, minced garlic, worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or form it into a log or ball if desired. For added texture, you can roll it in additional chopped nuts.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the spread from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Serve with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh vegetables.
