Mom’s Cheese Spread
Makes 2-3 cups
15 minutes preparation time
approximately ½ pound extra sharp cheddar
8 ounces cream cheese
¼ pound Maytag blue cheese
4 tablespoons butter, softened
½ teaspoon garlic salt
approximately ½ cup hot water
Grate the cheddar in a food processor. Remove the cheese and the grating blade and put in the general use chopping blade. Add back the cheddar and all the remaining ingredients, except the water, and blend. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the hot water. Stop occasionally and check the texture. Ideally, all the cheeses will blend, but the spread will retain a bit of texture. You may need a bit more or less than the ½ cup of water.
When blended, scrape the mixture into a storage container and chill until you are ready to serve it. It will last a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.
