How To Make Cheddar Jack Cheese Spread
Place cheddar and jack cheese cubes, cream cheese, butter, green onion, sherry, Worcestershire, Dijon, tabasco, and salt into a food processor. Process these ingredients until the mixture becomes fairly smooth.
NOTE: For the cream cheese, you can use 3 oz. of cubes cut from a block of cream cheese OR 3 oz. of spreadable cream cheese.
Last Step Before It’s Done!
Once the cheddar jack cheese spread is fairly smooth, add finely chopped chives to the food processor. Pulse just until the chives are incorporated into the mixture.
Remove the cheese spread from the processor. Spoon it out of the processor and and place it into a ramekin, gift container or crock.
Cover the cheddar jack cheese spread and refrigerate it for about an hour. This is to give the flavors a chance to “mingle”, which makes the cheese spread taste even better.
Serving The Cheddar Jack Cheese Spread
To serve, remove the cheddar jack cheese spread from the refrigerator. Let it slightly “soften” at room temperature (uncovered) for about 15 minutes, because this makes it easier for spreading and provides the best flavor.
Serve with an assortment of your favorite crackers or pita chips, and enjoy! You can store any leftovers (covered) in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Remember to let it come to room temperature before serving!
