Garlic Cheddar Cheese Dip
This garlic cheddar cheese dip recipe is easy, quick and tasty. Serve it as a dip or spread over a toasted baguette or crackers. Ready in 5 minutes!
Ingredients
- 5 ounces cheddar cheese (grated, 150 grams)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove (pressed, see note 1)
- black pepper (a pinch)
- fresh chives (finely chopped, see note 2)
- 5 walnuts (roughly chopped, optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine cheddar, mayonnaise, pressed garlic and a pinch of black pepper. When ready, stir in chives.
- Serve as a dip or spread.
- Optional: Top each canape with roughly chopped walnuts or sprinkle over the dip.
Notes
- I usually use 2 garlic cloves but some might find it too strong. I suggest you start with one and add more, if needed.
- In this recipe I used about a tablespoon of chopped chives. You can add more or less, if you like. The chives can be omitted completely if you don’t have them on hand.
- This dip can be served as a spread over canapes, toasted bread or crackers. You will get about 16 canapes out of this recipe. When serving as a dip, you will get about ¾ cup.
- When using this dip/spread for canapes add an extra 10 minutes to the overall time.
