Recipe Type - Appetizer
Serving(s) - 10-12
Cook Time - N/A
Prep Time - 20 mins

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese (not pre-shredded)
  • 8 oz mild cheddar cheese (not pre-shredded)
  • 2 oz bleu cheese crumbles
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp grated garlic, or to taste
  • Crackers, for serving (woven wheat and butter crackers are recommended)
  • 1-2 cheese knives, for serving

Directions:

  1. Shred the blocks of sharp and extra sharp cheese (easiest to shred when cold)
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl (It’s best to use your hands to “squeeze” the ingredients together – this ensures the cream cheese gets thoroughly incorporated)
  3. Scoop mixture into serving dish (decorative medium size bowl, covered or Tupperware container)
  4. Dish tastes best if left in fridge overnight and then removed before serving to sit on counter until it reaches room temperature (1-2 hours)

Suggested Pairings:

Bold red wine or day-after-Christmas TV marathon.

Recipe's Story:

My Grandma Agnes Frye made this recipe every Christmas for the Frye Family Christmas celebration, a tradition that has carried on every year since her passing. Since she has 9 kids and 40+ grandkids and great grandkids that typically attend this celebration, we usually double or triple the recipe. One year this was literally all I ate at the party – it’s THAT good! This is one dish that gets tastier with time, so leftovers, albeit rare, are a delicacy. Me and my sister managed to snag the leftovers one year and finished it off the next morning with a bottle of cabernet and a Lost TV show marathon. 10/10 recommend (the food and the show).
