This is NOT your usual potted cheese and the addition of Gran Luchito chilli mayonnaise adds a distinctive smoky heat that is amazing when mixed with sundry bits of cheese! Serving ideas: serve with fresh fruit, nuts, toast, crackers, bread or as a sandwich filling.
Ingredients
- 150g to 175g assorted cheese (I used Cheddar, Lincolnshire Poacher, Double Goucester with Herbs, Cream Cheese and Shropshire Blue)
- 4 to 6 tablespoons Gran Luchito Chilli Mayonnaise (or normal mayonnaise with 1 to 2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika)
- a little melted butter, about 2 tablespoons

Directions
| Step 1 | This is such an easy recipe, just chuck the whole lot (ingredients) into a big bowl and mix well! |
| Step 2 | Pile the potted cheese into a large pot or individual serving pots, cover with cling-film and chill until firm. |
| Step 3 | Serving ideas: serve with fresh fruit, nuts, toast, crackers, bread or as a sandwich filling. Also makes a great Welsh Rarebit topping too and works like a dream in cheese sauces, lasagne topping, in pancakes and many other recipes where cheese and/or chilli is needed. |
