Triple Cheese Spread
A rich, creamy cheese spread blending Old English, cream cheese, Parmesan, and butter with savory seasonings, perfect for spreading on bread, rolls, or serving with baked potatoes.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the Old English cheese, cream cheese, and butter in a blender or beat in a deep bowl with an electric hand beater.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and pepper to season the mixture.
- Beat until all ingredients are very smooth.
- Transfer to a plastic container with a lid for storage.
- Use as a spread on French bread, sourdough bread, or rolls.
- It's especially good on hot baked potatoes.
- Serve cold with relishes and/or crackers.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the butter is softened before mixing. If you can't find Old English cheese, a combination of sharp cheddar and a hint of blue cheese can work well. For a lighter version, consider using low-fat cream cheese. If you want extra flavor, try adding some chopped fresh herbs like chives or basil.
