HERBED CHEESE SPREAD



Herbed Cheese Spread image

Tastes just like the expensive Boursin® cheese spread you buy at the store. Reduced-fat cream cheese works well in this recipe. Delicious spread on crackers or as a fill on celery sticks. Good shelf life in the refrigerator. This can be eaten right way, but it's best if refrigerated for at least one day before serving.

HERBED GOAT CHEESE BITES



Herbed Goat Cheese Bites image

This was a great way for me to use up the trimmings from my herb garden. The bites kept very well, completely submerged in the evoo for two weeks, so far. Lovely to have on hand, and the olive oil takes on a nice flavor, making it a useful plus for salad dressing, once all the goat cheese is gone.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 - (7 oz) boxes cheese crackers (recommended ritz cheese bits, not the peanut butter kind)
1/2 cup(s) canola oil
1 - (1 oz) package dry ranch dressing mix
1 teaspoon(s) dried dill or parsley
1 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
1 teaspoon(s) celery salt

Steps:

  • Place the crackers in a large sealable container.

  • Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cheese into small cubes. This will help the cheese melt evenly and prevent it from becoming stringy.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese and herbs. Some good options include cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, and thyme.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought cracker dough instead of making your own. Just be sure to thaw the dough according to the package directions before using it.
  • These cheese cracker bites can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to reheat them before serving.
