CHEESE GOOP
Author Notes: The name is from my childhood days when anything that wasn't immediately identifiable was called "goop", before I knew about a cleanser of the same name or before Gwyneth tried to take it as her own property.My local grocery carried a product that had the same ingredients, but then suddenly it went away. So...I was left to make my own version. This is really a cheesy dip!...three cheeses! It is great on crostini and is perfect with crudities.It is fabulous on a hamburger . I have even thrown it on pasta and used it as a "secret sauce" for sandwiches. The hot red pepper flakes give it a bite, so add or subtract the amount you use accordingly. (depending on the heat quotient tolerance of the tasters). Perfect to pass around with some fresh veggies at a cocktail party. - dymnyno
Serves makes 3 cups
- 1 cup asiago cheese, grated
- 1 cup fontina cheese, grated

- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Dump all the ingredients into a blender or food processor.
- Pulse the blender to incorporate all the ingredients.
- If the Goop is too thick, add a little more olive oil to thin.
- Serve with crudities or on crostini. You can also spread it on French bread slices and broil for a few minutes, until bubbly.

I love this one! Really versatile. I could see it over steamed broccoli too. And cauliflower. And lots of other things.

Looks delicious - three cheeses are perfect together...Do you mean 1 teaspoon or one tablespoon of red pepper flakes?

LOL! Don't feel bad, Liz--my husband won't eat the cheese! I, on the other hand, would devour it with a spoon.

I meant to say 1 tablespoon, but 1 teaspoon for wimps and none for Larry and Freddy!
