Hot Swiss & Almond Spread

By SewingDragonfly

From food.com. The author noted - "My grandmother gave me this easy and delicious recipe, which makes for a great appetizer. This is definitely a spread, not a dip, so serve with a spreader! It makes about 2 cups."

MY NOTES: I made this for Christmas 2014. I heated it in the microwave and then put in a small crock pot to keep warm. It was pretty good. Would do it again.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups swiss cheese, shredded
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup onions, minced
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon horseradish
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 1/2 cup almonds, sauteed

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in either a microwaveable bowl or a pot for the stovetop, according to your cooking preference.

If using the microwave, heat for 1-2 minutes at a time on 50% power, stirring periodically, until heated through and cheese is melted (about 6-8 minutes).

If using the stovetop, heat over medium low, stirring frequently (about 6-8 minutes).

This pairs nicely with a variety of food, including bread chunks, crackers, pretzels, and the like!
