Cheese Spread Aka Bottomless Cheese Crock Recipes

Steps:

• Let cheeses stand at room temperature until soft.
• Combine cheeses.

• Beat until well blended.
• Pack into container, cover, and refrigerate for about a week before using the first time.
• Adding to the Crock: Firm cheeses---such as Swiss, Jack, or any Chdeddar types---are fine. Shred and beat in while cheese in crock is soft, adding small amounts of olive oil or cream cheese for good consistency. Also add brandy, dry Sherry, Port, beer, or Kirsch, keeping the total not larger than the original proportion of brandy. Then let mixture age a few days before serving. Use it every week or two, saving part of original mixgture to keep crock going.

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.
