Holiday Cheddar Spread image

Ingredients

2 c old cheddar cheese, grated
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
4 oz butter, room temperature
1/4 c beer, non-alcohol beer, white wine or buttermilk
1 pinch black pepper
1 small onion, minced finely
sprig parsley or sprinkle paprika to decorate

Steps:

1. In a large bowl or in food processor, combine softened cream cheese and butter until thoroughly blended.
2. Add pinch pepper and just enough liquid (beer, non-alcohol beer or white wine) to make the cream cheese mixture fluffy.
3. Add grated old Cheddar cheese and combine thoroughly. You may need to add just a bit more liquid so that it retains nice texture, but not to worry if it's a bit thick and heavy. It still tastes great!
4. Add onion, but combine only until blended in. If using food processor, pulse on/off a couple of times, but do not overwork or onion taste can become overwhelming.
5. Spoon into a bowl and sprinkle with a parsley sprig or some paprika so that it looks pretty. Remove from fridge about 20 minutes before serving. Serve with crackers.

CANADIAN SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE SPREAD

Attention, cheese lovers! This may be the best cheese spread you've ever had! My friend's mother gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. I always make it around the holidays, or for football and hockey game nights. Everyone begs for this recipe. Turn this into a pub spread by adding a half cup of your favorite dark ale. Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.
