DARE FOODS
Stuffed Gouda Cheese
1 14-ounce (approx.) whole Gouda cheese in wax
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
2 1/2 teaspoons red wine (or Worcestershire sauce)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon,
or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed
Green onion, sliced
Breton, Cabaret or other Dare* crackers
1. Slice approximately 1 inch off the top of the cheese, cutting right
through the plastic wrap and wax. Using a sharp paring knife or
melon baller, hollow out the cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Remove
the plastic wrap but not the wax.
2. Shred the scooped-out cheese on the smallest shredder blade of a food
processor. Place shredded cheese, mustard, wine and tarragon in a large
bowl and toss lightly with a fork. Spoon the mixture into the Gouda shell.
There should be enough to fill the shell twice.
3. Sprinkle with green onions. Serve with a selection of Dare crackers.
Makes 12-15 servings.
