Marinated Cheese Recipe
Create a quick and easy appetizer that satisfies any cheese lover. Our marinated cheese recipe features three kinds of cheese in a white wine vinegar marinade.
Yesterday, we shared a delicious cocktail recipe. Since you already have the drinks covered, why not serve an appetizer as well?
For today’s post, we’re sharing our marinated cheese recipe. Two kinds of cheddar cheese along with cream cheese marinated in a tangy vinaigrette.
Shall we get started?
How to make marinated cheese?
First, use your knife and cutting board to slice up all three cheese varieties.
You want to cut them in 1 inch squares that are about a 1/4 inch thick.
Next, place the squares of cheese on a serving platter with a rim or into a bowl.
You can put the squares into a decorative pattern if you like. Take a look at the photo below.
After that, grab a large glass measuring cup or bowl and start making the marinade.
Pour in the olive oil, white wine vinegar, chopped parsley, diced pimentos, sliced green onions, minced garlic, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Now, use your whisk to blend the ingredients into a vinaigrette for your marinated cheese. Then, carefully pour the marinade over the cheese.
Last, serve the cheese right away with crackers or toasted bread. Or, you can cover it and store it in your fridge and let it marinate for an hour before serving.
That’s it, your marinated cheese recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy the snack and we wish you all the best 🙂
