Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Roquefort cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Crushed walnuts (optional, for coating)
- 1 roll Plastic wrap
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, Roquefort cheese, softened butter, and cream cheese until smooth. You can use a hand mixer to ensure the mixture blends evenly.
Add the finely chopped parsley, garlic powder, and ground black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.
Spread a large sheet of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Scoop the cheese mixture onto the plastic wrap and shape it into a log or roll about 2 inches in diameter.
If desired, sprinkle the crushed walnuts evenly onto the plastic wrap before rolling the cheese roll. This will coat the outside of the roll and add texture and flavor.
Wrap the cheese roll tightly in the plastic wrap, ensuring it's fully sealed. Twist the ends of the wrap to secure the shape.
Place the wrapped cheese roll in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to firm up. For storage of up to a month, transfer the wrapped roll into an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag and freeze.
To serve, remove the cheese roll from the refrigerator or freezer. Allow it to thaw slightly (if frozen) before slicing into rounds or serving with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks.
