- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Grate the sharp cheddar cheese and bring it to room temperature for easier blending.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and butter. Ensure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature to allow for smooth blending.
Using a hand mixer or food processor, blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Add the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Mix again to fully incorporate the flavors.
Taste the cheese spread and adjust seasoning if needed. If you'd like a stronger garlic flavor, add an additional pinch of garlic powder.
Transfer the cheese spread to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped chives, if using.
Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or bread. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container and bring to room temperature before serving.
