- 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator 20 minutes prior to starting the recipe so it softens and becomes easier to mix.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated sharp cheddar, Parmesan cheese, and sour cream.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon, mix all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Taste the cheesespread and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper.
Transfer the cheesespread to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with finely chopped fresh chives for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Give it a quick stir before serving again.
