Heidi Swansonâ??s Parmesan CheeseSpread
"I cannot stress enough how quickly this elegant cheese dip from Heidi Swanson can materialize in front of youâ??or how many situations you may find yourself grateful for it. Your in-lawsâ??or coworkers or dogsittersâ??are passing through the neighborhood. (Quick! Cheese dip.) You spaced on appetizers for your dinner party (cheese dip). Or, whoops, the party is suddenly pacing an hour behind schedule (cheese dip). You have a hankering for a quick, salty snack with some substance, but all youâ??ve got in the cheese drawer is that stiff, ageless block of Parm. VoilÃ! Instant appetizer. Adapted slightly from 101 Cookbooks...."
