Notes
- SERVING:
- STORAGE:
- The basic recipe makes about 1 cup.
- SERVING: Garlic spread pairs excellent with a white bread roll (Czech Rohlík). Slice the roll and top each piece with the spread. Sprinkle the spread with chopped greens, such as parsley or chives, for a better look. Arrange on a platter and serve.
- STORAGE: Place the garlic-cheese spread in an airtight container or a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator, where the spread will keep for about 3-5 days.
- I added less than ¼ teaspoon of salt. It may seem nothing, but the cheese itself is quite salty. It's better to add the salt later than to oversalt the spread initially.
