FROMAGE FORT (STRONG CHEESE)
Makes 4 Servings
Ingredients
8oz cheese pieces
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup dry white wine
Black pepper
Salt (if needed)
Directions
Place the cheese, garlic, wine, and a good grind of black pepper into the bowl of a food processor. Process for 30 seconds or so, until the mixture is creamy but not too soft. Taste and season with salt, if necessary.
Pack cheese mixture into small containers to use immediately, or refrigerate to serve cold. It can also be stored in the freezer.
Serve on crackers or on bread, and on bread, it can be broiled for a few minutes to make it wonderfully fragrant.

This makes a terrific snack or appetizer, either room temp, cold, or warmed in the broiler/grill. Just about any cheeses will do, the version I made for this recipe used parmesan, colby-jack, mozzarella, cheddar, romano, and some cream cheese. It's an excellent way to use up cheese that may be getting past its best.
