Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften for easier mixing.
Step 2
Grate the sharp cheddar cheese if it is not pre-shredded.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and evenly blended.
Step 4
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are well incorporated.
Step 5
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning as needed, adding a pinch more salt or pepper if desired.
Step 6
Transfer the cheese spread to a serving dish and use a spatula to smooth the surface. Sprinkle a small pinch of paprika or parsley on top for garnish, if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables. Alternatively, cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld further.
Step 8
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
