Once the wait was over and the lemon cheese was tipped out onto a serving plate, I reserved half of it, and added fresh herbs and seasoning. The end result was as good and more enhanced than the original recipe of 1844.
For a plain and simple recipe, it has a lot of potential as a spread, dip, or used in place of cream cheese, mayonnaise and even sour cream when making sauces.
Ingredients:
1 C. Lemon Cheese (refer to the link below)
A fresh sprig of Each: (use herbs and seasoning to your own taste)
Basil
Thyme
Oregano
Parsley
Chives
1 1/2 tsp. Garlic Parmesan Seasoning (see the link to make your own)
Directions:
Wash and pat the fresh herbs dry. Remove the leaves from the stems and chop fine. Fold the herbs into the Lemon Cheese. Spoon into a ramekin or dipping dish. Top with Chives, lemon zest and garnish with Parsley if desired.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with crackers, my Cayenne Cheese Sticks or for stuffed celery. This can be used as an appetizer or a spread for sandwiches.
