  • 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup milk (or more, depending on desired consistency)

  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded cheeses, room temperature cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped parsley, onion powder, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, and milk into a large mixing bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture reaches your desired consistency. Add more milk if you prefer a thinner spread.

  • This spread can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
