I'd call this another great Friday Night Munchie, don't hesitate to give it a try folks!
1 roasted red pepper, diced, about 1/2 C
8 oz cream cheese, room temp
1 Tblsp grated Parmesan
1 C triple cheddar cheese blend
-Add all to a food processor and let 'er rip.
For spreading/dipping: Bread, crackers, bagel chips, tortilla chips, veggies, etc.
Notes:
- Recipe is easily cut in half.
- I don't believe this is supposed to be a super smooth spread folks.
- A fresh roasted pepper would be wonderful, I used jarred that were dried well on paper towels.
- Used Neufchatel cheese, worked fine. The original recipe used less fat cream cheese.
- While I'm sure the triple cheddar is amazing, white shredded sharp cheddar was in the fridge, that's what I used.
- Go ahead and add a little more parm if you'd like...
- My only addition was LOTS of fresh ground black pepper-yum!
- Leftovers would be amazing on a bagel (Leftovers??? Actually, there probably won't be any, just whip up a batch for brunch:@)
Let's break out the piggy dip dish and welcome the weekend!
You tried it! I'm so happy you liked it!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't made any yet, sigh! I guess maybe I need to stop playing outside and spend some time in my kitchen, lol!
That sounds very good and once again an easy one to put together. I bet some pepper jack cheese would be good also. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend! xo
I keep meaning to roast some peppers on my gas stove but haven't yet. This is some incentive to get er done.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a yummy recipe. Thanks! Have a great weekend.

Yours looks great! Thanks for sharing with your readers :) Any cheese would work great and I like your addition of black pepper. I do recommend letting it chill because the flavors really intensify.

I know I would like this as I like my roasted red pepper hummus.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your weekend is starting out with yumminess!! Love your pig dip bowl.
ReplyDeleteI'm your newest follower! :) I love your recipes, this one sounds especially great. I'm always looking for different types of dips and spreads to serve at family gatherings.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a giveaway this week and I would love for you to stop by if you have the time. Thanks so much!!
I am wondering how that would go with Fried Green Tomatoes? sandie
ReplyDeleteWait, I missed the flowers AND Paula's meatloaf? Dang work.
ReplyDeleteYep, work interferes with EVERYTHING:@)
DeleteThis looks great. I think I'd prefer the sharpness of good sharp cheddar in this and maybe a bit of finely diced onion. Going to have to try this out. I love veggie munchies with something like this. Hubs and I love to have a simple meal of sliced hard salami, ham, with cheese, and various veggies perfect for dipping in this.

I don't like peppers - but I actually think this might change my mind. I am sure a roasted pepper would have great flavor. There you go again - perfectly cut carrots and celery. I wish you lived in my house : )
ReplyDeleteThis would be wonderful with farmers' market peppers in the summer! Love the color.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of red peppers, but I love roasted peppers. This looks like a winning snack to me. Sounds like you need to make yourself and Earl another batch to enjoy over the weekend!
ReplyDeleteSounds simple and delicious--best type of snack.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious, made my copy and will make it soon. Thank you for sharing.
