Cheese Spreads

Two recipes for cheese spreads with similar preparation techniques but different results.

Ingredients for both – blue and butter with Worcestershire – cheddar and horse radish, also with Worcestershire

---

Blue Cheese Spread

My father’s recipe, it goes well with cocktails or beer. Even people who don’t like blue cheese like this.

Crumble a piece of room temperature blue cheese and mix 4 to 1 with good quality room temperature butter. The butter takes some of the sharpness and even some of the stinkyness away from the blue cheese. Mash with a fork, adding a few drops of Worcestershire Sauce until smooth.

Cheddar Horseradish Spread

I got this from a waiter at Fin, a seafood restaurant at the Tropicana in Atlantic City. They serve it alongside the butter with their bread basket.

Grate some good quality sharp cheddar and mix with prepared horseradish 5 to 1. Mash with a fork, adding a few drops of Worcestershire Sauce until smooth.
