Instructions
Cheese Paste Recipe
1. Grate your cheeses in a large plastic bowl and allow them to soften. This will make working with the cheese a bit easier than if you tried to mix all the ingredients while the cheese was still cold and hard.
2. Chop your garlic and onion. If you prefer a cheese paste that has more of a garlic taste to it, you can add additional cloves. This is also true with the onion. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can substitute with garlic powder.
3. Mash your cheeses together using a fork if you don't have a food processor. Continue mixing until all the cheese has mixed together. Add your mayonnaise to the cheese to help soften it and make mixing it easier. It will also make the paste more pliable.
4. Add all your other ingredients into the plastic bowl with the mixed cheese. Continue mixing until all the ingredients are mixed together.
5. Chill your cheese paste for approximately 1 hour to overnight before using. The longer you allow the cheese paste to sit, the more the taste of the other seasonings will set into the mixture. You can use your cheese paste on crackers, bread or make a sandwich out of it. It should keep in the refrigerator for approximately one week.
