Three-Cheese Sandwich Spread
- 2/3 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon milk
- In a bowl mix all of the
ingredients except the milk. Gradually mix in enough milk to
make the mixture spreadable. Cover and store in the refrigerator
for up to 3 days.
Makes about 2 1/4 cups.
Variation: Other varieties
of shredded cheese can be used with the ricotta.
Serving Suggestions:
- Halve crusty French rolls
horizontally. Pull out the centers of the rolls to make shells
about 1/2-inch thick. (Reserve the crumbs for another use.) Fill
the roll halves with sandwich spread and press together; package
individually in plastic wrap.
- For a picnic, pack the
sandwich spread in a paper cup or plastic container. Cover securely.
Serve with crackers or vegetable sticks.
- Make hearty main-dish
sandwiches with whole-grain bread, sandwich spread, sliced tomatoes,
and lettuce.
