Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Optional: crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Use a hand mixer or wooden spoon to blend until smooth and well combined.
2. Gradually add the dry white wine, a few tablespoons at a time, and blend until the mixture reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency. You may not need to use the entire cup of wine, so adjust according to your preference.
3. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
4. Gently fold in the fresh parsley for a hint of color and fresh herb flavor.
5. Transfer the cheese spread to a serving dish or bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Before serving, let the spread sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Serve with crackers, bread slices, or fresh veggies for dipping.
