Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
Using the fine side of a box grater, grate the peeled carrots into a medium bowl. Press or finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the carrots.
Combine
Add the grated hard cheese, softened cream cheese, and mayonnaise or sour cream to the bowl with the carrots and garlic.
Mix and Season
Stir everything together thoroughly until you have a well-combined, spreadable consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to your personal taste. For a richer flavor, you can add a spoonful of butter.
Chill (Optional)
For the best flavor, cover the spread and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve
Serve the spread chilled, slathered on fresh crusty bread, toast, or crackers. It also makes an excellent dip for raw vegetables.
