CHEESE SPREAD
A piquant spread that gives an updated nod
to Southern pimento cheese.
Makes 1
1
/
3
cups
1 small garlic clove
4 ounces good quality, sharp Cheddar, cut into
1-inch cubes
4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons salted butter, room temperature
2 ounces (about 8 or 9) drained hot, sweet
pickled peppadew
2 tablespoons dry white wine
Pinch kosher salt
Butter crackers, for serving
1. Put the garlic clove in the work bowl. Process on
Chop to finely chop, about 5 seconds. Add the cubed
Cheddar and pulse on chop to break up, about 10
to 12 pulses, then run on Chop continuously until
finely chopped. The Cheddar should resemble
a coarse crumble.
2. Break up the goat cheese into the work bowl
and add the butter, hot, sweet, pickled peppers
like Peppadew
®
peppers, wine and pinch of salt.
Run on Chop continuously until well blended
and mostly smooth, scraping the bowl as needed.
The finished spread will be somewhat chunky with
visible bits of Cheddar and flecks of pickled peppers
throughout.
3. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with
crackers. Alternatively, cover bowl and chill for a firmer
consistency, at least 1 hour.
Tip: For an impressive presentation, transfer spread into
a small plastic wrap-lined bowl; tap on counter to remove
air pockets, and smooth out top with an offset spatula or
butter knife. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to set,
at least 2 hours. Unmold spread onto a serving dish or
platter. Let come to room temperature before serving,
15 to 20 minutes.
