Cheddar Spread

 

Serves 4-6

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese

Combine in a glass bowl or large measuring cup. Microwave on high for one minute. Stir and microwave another minute. Stir until smooth.

¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce

You may store this in a plastic container in the refrigerator for two weeks.

 

To make a cheese ball or log, remove from the refrigerator and turn out on to wax paper. Form into a ball or log shape and roll in chopped walnuts or pinenuts.

Serve cold or warm with warm bread crusts or crackers.

This is the base of several of my recipes.
