Cheddar-ale pub spread
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | ounces | Old Cheddar Cheese, GRATED |
| 8 | ounces | Cream Cheese, SOFTENED |
| 125 | millilitres | Ale or beer |
| 1 | teaspoon | Dry mustard |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Cayenne pepper |
| ½ | cup | Finely chopped toasted pecans |
| ½ | cup | Chopped parsley (fresh) |
Directions
Place cheeses in food processor or blender, process until smooth. (I used a combination of by hand and an electric mixer) Gradually add ale, mustard and cayenne pepper. If mixture is soft, refrigerate until firm enough to hold shape. Mould into a disc shape ( a sphere or ball!!). Combine pecans and parsley. Pat the mixture onto the ball or roll the ball in the mixture until the cheese mixture is covered completely. Place on a serving plate or board and surround with crackers or flatbreads. Slices of apple are nice with this too.
This is an easy thing to make and is very tasty.
