Cheesepaste Sandwiches
Don’t underestimate the power of simplicity. Our Cheesepaste Sandwiches are a Grenadian classic—creamy, savory, and irresistibly smooth, with just the right kick of flavor tucked between soft slices of bread. They’re the perfect quick bite for snack time, party trays, or anytime you’re craving something comforting and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 2 cups finely grated white cheddar cheese room temperature
Recommended brands: Anchor Vegetarian Cheddar, Cabot White Cheddar, or Cracker Barrel White Cheddar
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 loaf bread white or whole wheat works best
- Food Coloring red, blue, green, yellow(optional)
Optional Add-ins (for extra flavor)
- grated onion add to taste
- 1/4 tsp hot Pepper or more, depending on desired heat
Instructions
- Grate the cheese using the fine side of a box grater. (Make sure the cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.)
- Add the butter and mustard to the grated cheese.
- Optional: Now’s the time to mix in any extra flavorings—like grated onion, or hot sauce—if using.
- Using a spoon (or spatula), mix until smooth and creamy. You can adjust the flavor here—add more mustard if you prefer a sharper bite.
- Once the paste is smooth, divide it into small containers.
- Add food coloring to each container. You can go as light or vibrant as you like. Mix until evenly blended.
- Spread generously onto slices of your favorite sandwich bread.
- Now for the fun part: Layer and stack the colors however you like—single color, two-tone, or rainbow-style!
- Trim the edges of the bread for clean sides.
- Cut into triangles or squares to serve.
- Enjoy immediately, or chill briefly for a firmer bite.
Notes
Make-ahead note: You can prep the cheesepaste the day before—just store in the fridge and bring to room temp before spreading.
