Southwestern Beer Cheese . Good Eats

I recently had the opportunity to create a recipe using Boar’s Head Cheese. Since I could preeeetty much live on cheese–and bread, lots of bread, too, I was pretty excited. I’m a big fan of just throwing several of my favorite cheeses onto a nice platter and going to town, but I wanted to try something unique for this one. I discovered beer cheese while living in Kentucky and got totally hooked. This creamy spread is a twist on that Kentucky classic. It’s tangier and has a little more kick than your standard beer cheese. It’s a great spread or dip, but I also recommend spreading it on bread to make a completely addictive grilled cheese. Drop by Boar’s Head to discover new cheeses and create your ideal virtual cheese board to print and recreate at home. You can view and print the full recipe for my Southwestern beer cheese below. Enjoy!

This zesty spread is the perfect combination of tangy Swiss with smooth cream cheese. It's perfect for tailgating or paired with a glass of wine.
