"Golden Bee" Cheese


The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs is one of those ultimate spa retreats. It is a five diamond hotel and resort, and one of the only American resorts to hold that designation continuously since 1976, when AAA began rating hotels. At The Broadmoor, there is a little pub called the Golden Bee, where they serve a delightfully decadent horseradish cheese spread. I stayed at The Broadmoor in 2004, and visited the Golden Bee, so I wanted to try making the Golden Bee Cheese at home. A breeze! Here's the recipe, courtesy of cdkitchen.com:

10 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
10 ounces butter, softened
2 tablespoons sherry
1 tablespoon horseradish
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt


Blend all ingredients well and pack in a crock. Serve with crackers. This is better if it in made several days before serving. 

A few additional notes: This savory cheese spread is like the Boursin of the Rockies. There is a lot of butter in it, and the spread hardens when stored in the refrigerator. I recommend taking it out and letting it sit at room temperature to soften before serving.
