I am sharing two cheese spread recipes that were featured in the Lufkin Daily News and the Brookshire Brothers Cooking School. They were very popular at catered events and super easy to make. Cheese spreads look so much better than logs or balls which look terrible when someone digs into them. That’s why we always served spreads– they looked great all night long. Enjoy!
