- 5

-
2 cups

ingredients
- 1 lb cheese, at room temperature

- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves
- 1 small garlic clove (I used more)
directions
- Remove any rinds from hard cheeses; grate hard cheeses and cut others into 1/2 inch cubes (if you have a good food processor, I see no reason to grate beforehand, just cut all cheeses into cubes).
- Place cheese, wine, butter, parsley, and garlic in a food processor and blend approximately 2 minutes, or until smooth.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour or two for a firmer consistency.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

I used feta with wild onions and teleme (both imported from Turkey) and some gouda. I ended up using about 1/2 cup wine and I increased the garlic to 3 grated cloves. Very good! Try it instead of garlic butter. Slather it on some good bread and toast it up next time you make spaghetti! Thank you for sharing your recipe, GaylaJ.

I use this whenever the cheese drawer gets too full of little bits and pieces! It looks so upscale when served to guests, they'll never know it's actually leftovers. LOL! One note of caution, if you use a really strong flavored cheese, make sure you have enough mild ones to balance the flovor, or you may find it too sharp.

I just made this cheese tonight and it is great! This cheese mixture is so easy to put together...I didn't have to measure or weigh out anything. I just eye-balled everything. I used sharp cheddar, parmesan, cream cheese, and american cheese. I also used an asian sake instead of wine. I also added extra garlic...which gave it an extra kick! I was shocked when my picky husband asked me if we could have some of this cheese dip with our meal! This dip is terrific! You really won't find a better cheese spread in the market...
