Ingredients

From the kitchen of Jewel-e S. – Phoenix, Arizona

1 pound longhorn cheese
3 ounces cream cheese
Dash of Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Cayenne pepper

Spicy Cheese Log Directions

Soften cream cheese; grate longhorn cheese.

With strong sturdy spoon (wooden is nice), mix thoroughly until all melded together.

Stir in Worcestershire and garlic; mix thoroughly.

Divide mixture into four or five sections. Roll each section into the shape of a log about the diameter of a half dollar. When all the sections are rolled, spread cayenne on wax paper and roll the logs in the cayenne until coated, including the ends.

The original recipe says, slice cheese log into 1/4-inch slices; place on a Ritz and toast under the broiler until just hot. Serve quickly.

Now I like it cold and slice cheese onto my favorite cracker or chip and pop into my mouth…Yummm!
