Tuscan Ham & Cheddar Spread
A chunky, savory cheese spread is the answer when your fridge has a little ham and your guests are on the way. Tuscan garlic, dill and a bright finishing splash of champagne balsamic make this old-school cracker spread taste like it belongs next to a really good cheese board.
Ingredients
Method
- Stir cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth but not whipped too airy.
- Fold in cheddar, ham, bell pepper, scallions, Ellbee's Tuscan Gourmet Garlic, Ellbee's Garlic Olive Oil, Ellbee's Champagne Balsamic Vinegar and dill. Season lightly with black pepper.
- Cover and chill for at least 20 minutes so the spread gets cohesive and scoopable.
- Serve cold with crackers, celery and bell pepper strips. Spoon any leftovers into a grilled-cheese sandwich the next day.
Notes
Time: 15 min
Kitchen tip: Pulse only half the mixture in a food processor if you love an extra-creamy base but still want the ham and vegetables to have a little bite.
