White Cheddar And Jalapeno Spread

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Shredded white cheddar cheese
1/2 cup	118ml	Sour cream
1/8 cup	29ml	Mayonnaise
3		Green onions - minced
5		Fresh jalapeno peppers* - seeded and minced
1 tablespoon	15ml	Fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	White pepper
1		Salt
		Tabasco sauce, to taste

Recipe Instructions

Note: Always wear gloves or wash hands thoroughly after handling peppers. Let grated cheese come almost to room temperature before mixing it with the remaining ingredients so the sour cream and mayonnaise will blend properly with the cheese. Shred the cheese and set it aside while measuring the other ingredients and this resting time will be sufficient.

Blend all ingredients until smooth. Best when allowed to refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

Use this spread as a lunchtime zip on your favorite bread or as an appetizer with pita points, crackers or vegetables. But be sure there is a beverage nearby.
