List of Ingredients
(Makes about 2 cups.)
1 pound sharp yellow cheddar
1⁄4 pound cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
3 large red bell peppers, roasted (see page 345), peeled, seeded, and chopped
1⁄2 cup Homemade Mayonnaise (page 336) or best-quality commercial mayonnaise
1 teaspoon sugar
Splash of hot sauce, such as Tabasco or Cholula
1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Grind the cheddar in a food processor fitted with the grating disk, or grate it on the small-holed side of a hand grater. Transfer the grated cheese to a bowl, add the cream cheese, white pepper, bell peppers, mayonnaise, sugar, hot sauce, and cayenne, if using, and blend all together thoroughly. Refrigerate and serve chilled. (The spread will keep for several days in the refrigerator, but it usually disappears long before that.)
