Transform leftover bits of cheese into a melted treat that's a quick fix for surprise guests or a snack to keep hungry people out of the kitchen while dinner is being prepared. Garnish it with a confetti of diced red pepper or pimento and some chopped parsley.
2 packages 8-oz. cream cheese
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup grated Monterey Jack, or any other mild white cheese 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, parmigiano reggiano, if possible
1/2 teaspoon onion or garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
1/4 cup 2% milk
In a microwave-safe serving dish, mash the cream cheese with the cheddar, Monterey Jack and Parmesan cheeses, onion salt, black pepper and hot pepper sauce (if using). Microwave on MEDIUM for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds and rotating the dish a quarter turn.
Using a fork, mix milk into cheese mixture thoroughly. Microwave on MEDIUM for 2 more minutes, stirring and rotating every 30 seconds as before, or until completely melted and bubbling slightly.
Serve hot with an assortment of crackers, tortilla chips, breadsticks and/or raw or steamed vegetables.
