I adopted this recipe, and after playing with the recipe, I have adapted it slightly (on July 7, 2005) to include a little less butter.

Ingredients

6 -8 tablespoons butter
8 ounces cheddar cheese, Sharp, Grated
4 ounces romano cheese, Grated
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

All the ingredients should be at room temperature before starting this recipe.
Whip slowly, in a medium mixing bowl, with the mixer until the mixture is fluffy. I also have mixed it well by hand, but room-temp ingredients are KEY to do that.
Spread on bread slices. (Rye, Sourdough or regular French Bread are great.) Toast under the broiler until hot.

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.
