Similar to cheese fondue, this cheese crock is the perfect way to use up all those leftover cheeses that you find hiding in the back of the fridge.

4 cups grated cheddar cheese
120g cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
3 teaspoons kirsch (cherry brandy)
Additional leftover cheeses (optional)
Slices of grilled bread, to serve

Method

1.

In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, oil, garlic, mustard and kirsch, and season with salt. This is the base mix for the crock, which can be used as a dip to serve with grilled bread.
2.

You can also add to the crock base by beating in any other leftover cheeses (such as goat's cheese, mild blue, cheddar, etc.) with a little more cream cheese and oil, plus 2 teaspoons of kirsch for every cup of added cheese.
