Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Mixed leftover cheeses (hard, soft, or semi-soft)
- 120 milliliters Dry white wine
- 30 grams Unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 clove Garlic cloves (minced)
- 10 grams Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- Salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Gather approximately 450 grams of mixed leftover cheeses. Remove any rinds or undesirable parts and cut the cheeses into small, manageable pieces.
In a food processor, combine the chopped cheeses, dry white wine, unsalted butter, and minced garlic.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure an even consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more wine to reach your preferred texture.
Season the mixture with ground black pepper and salt, if necessary, after tasting. Keep in mind that some cheeses are already very salty.
Fold in the chopped fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Transfer the fromage fort to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the fromage fort cold or at room temperature, spread on crackers, crusty bread, or as a dip for veggies.
