🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients and equipment. Ensure your cheese is cold for easier grating.
- Grate the hard cheese (e.g., cheddar, Parmesan) into a mixing bowl. Aim for a fine to medium shred.
- In a separate small saucepan, gently heat the cream cheese over low heat until it becomes softened. Be careful not to boil it.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the mixing bowl with the grated hard cheese. Mix well until the cheeses are thoroughly combined.
- Finely chop the fresh rosemary and mince the garlic. The rosemary's fragrance should be strong, and the garlic should be finely minced to release its oils.
- Incorporate the chopped rosemary and minced garlic into the cheese mixture. Stir until evenly distributed. The aroma should be heavenly at this stage.
- Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Remember, some cheeses are already salty, so taste as you go and adjust accordingly. Be careful here!
- If desired, add a drizzle of olive oil for a smoother consistency and extra flavor. Mix well.
- Transfer the cheese mixture to a cling film. Shape the mixture into a ball or log. This will make it easier to serve later.
- Wrap the cheese ball or log tightly with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
- Before serving, remove the cheese from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften slightly. This will enhance the flavors and make it easier to spread.
- Serve with your favorite crackers, baguette slices, or crudités. The rosemary-infused cheese gathering is now ready to be enjoyed! You can also drizzle a bit of honey on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
📝 Notes
- For a stronger rosemary flavor, use rosemary-infused olive oil.
