Here’s a creamy Jarlsberg cheese dip that’s perfect for chips, veggies, or bread 🧀
Jarlsberg Cheese Dip
Serves: 4–6
Time: ~15 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 oz Jarlsberg cheese, shredded
- ½ cup cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk (adjust for consistency)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional: pinch of cayenne or paprika for a little kick
- Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the cheeses: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the Jarlsberg and cream cheese together, stirring constantly.
- Add the liquids: Stir in sour cream and milk gradually until smooth and creamy. Adjust milk for desired thickness.
- Season: Add garlic, mustard, pepper, and optional spices. Mix well.
- Heat gently: Keep on low for 2–3 minutes until warm but not boiling.
- Serve: Pour into a bowl and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with bread, crackers, or raw veggies.
Tips & Variations
- Spicy twist: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or chopped jalapeño
- Beer cheese dip: Substitute part of the milk with beer for a tangy flavor
- Baked version: Pour into a small baking dish, top with extra shredded Jarlsberg, and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes until bubbly and golden
If you want, I can also give a slow cooker version that stays melty for a party. Do you want that?
