CANADIAN SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE SPREAD



Canadian Sharp Cheddar Cheese Spread image

Attention, cheese lovers! This may be the best cheese spread you've ever had! My friend's mother gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. I always make it around the holidays, or for football and hockey game nights. Everyone begs for this recipe. Turn this into a pub spread by adding a half cup of your favorite dark ale. Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.

KICKIN' PIMENTO CHEESE SPREAD



Kickin' Pimento Cheese Spread image

Classic pimento cheese with creamy texture and a little extra kick. This is a great make-ahead dish. I love grilled pimento cheese sandwiches, and this one won't disappoint. Also a great topping for grilled burgers. I add more cayenne when I want more kick.

Just imagine a cute display of penguins, made with black olives, carrots and cream cheese! You can add scarves and hats by using fresh red pepper strips, or canned pimentos cut into different shapes. Use frilly toothpicks if you can.
