CHIPOTLE CHEDDAR SPREAD



Chipotle Cheddar Spread image

Recipe from - http://coconutlime.blogspot.com/2008/06/chipotle-cheese-spread.html Chef notes from the site-- I came up with this recipe as sort of an homage to that Southern staple Pimento cheese. Rather than use it as a simple cold spread, I topped my burgers with it and allowed it to melt a bit on the grill. Yum! Smoky, spicy, cheesy. What's not to love? It is also extremely tasty cold on a sandwich or on some crackers. Or wedged in the grooves of some celery. It is smoky, spicy and more than a little addictive.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe apricots: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy apricots. If you can't find fresh apricots, you can use dried apricots, but be sure to soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
  • Use a sharp knife: When slicing the apricots, use a sharp knife to get clean, even slices. This will help the apricots spread evenly throughout the cheese mixture.
  • Don't overcook the apricots: When sautéing the apricots, be careful not to overcook them. They should be softened but still retain their shape.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the spread. Use a cheese that is flavorful and has a good melting quality, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or cream cheese.
  • Add some heat: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chipotle powder to the cheese mixture. This will give the spread a nice kick.
  • Serve with crackers or bread: Apricot chipotle cheese spread is a delicious appetizer or snack. Serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Apricot chipotle cheese spread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to use up leftover apricots. With its sweet and smoky flavor, this spread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
