Cheese
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
Additional Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup milk (or more for desired consistency)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Shred the cheeses: Begin by shredding the sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheeses to ensure they blend easily in the spread.
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded cheddar, shredded pepper jack, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, onion powder, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly. If you prefer a thinner consistency, gradually add more milk while stirring.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the cheese spread for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together, enhancing the overall taste. Alternatively, you can serve immediately if desired.

- This spread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Serve with crackers, toasted bread, fresh vegetables, or use as a sandwich spread.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
