Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Keto Cheese Marinade.
Step 1
To start, pop the Cheddar cheese and cream cheese into the freezer for about 20 minutes.
Step 2
This little trick helps them firm up, making slicing a breeze.
Step 3
While the cheeses chill, grab a lidded jar and combine olive oil, vinegar, parsley, basil, green onions, garlic, pimento, your choice of sugar substitute, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Secure the lid tightly and give it a good shake until everything is well mixed.
Step 5
Set this flavorful marinade aside for now.
Step 6
Once the cheeses are ready, take them out of the freezer.
Step 7
Slice the Cheddar cheese in half lengthwise, then cut it crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Step 8
Do the same with the cream cheese.
Step 9
Now, in a shallow baking dish, arrange the slices of Cheddar and cream cheese alternately, standing them on their edges for a beautiful presentation.
Step 10
Drizzle the marinade generously over the arranged cheese slices, ensuring they’re well coated.
Step 11
Cover the dish and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
Step 12
This waiting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a deliciously tangy experience.
Step 13
When you’re ready to serve, carefully transfer the cheese slices to a serving platter, maintaining that lovely alternating pattern.
Step 14
For an extra touch, spoon some of the marinade over the top.
Step 15
Your guests will be delighted by this vibrant and flavorful cheese dish! Enjoy every bite!.
