Fromage Fort dip in wooden bowl

Point Reyes Fromage Fort

Servings: Enough for about 50 pieces of toast


Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 pound leftover pieces of cheese, a combination of as many hard and soft varieties as you desire (Toma, Toma Provence, Gouda, and Bay Blue), trimmed to remove surface dryness and mold
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine 
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt, if needed

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled garlic in the bowl of a food processor and process for a few seconds, until coarsely chopped. Add the cheese, white wine, pepper, and salt (if needed) and process for 30 to 45 seconds, until the mixture is soft and creamy but not too smooth. Place in a crock, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

 

Note: Usually, cheese is salty enough so additional salt is not necessary.
