Jezebel sauce is a sweet and spicy southern favorite. It’s known for its unique flavor profile, offering a balance of sweetness and heat. The sauce is often served as an appetizer with cream cheese and crackers or as a glaze for ham and other meats. The herbed cheese spread in this dip combines beautifully with the spicy sweet heat from the flavorful Jezebel style sauce. One bite and you will be shoveling scoop, after scoop, after scoop of this utterly irresistible appetizer into your mouth. It’s so very, very addictive! Be sure to serve with plenty of crackers, you’ll certainly need them.
How To Make Jezebel Herbed Cheese Spread:
Start by gathering together the spices you need for the cheese mixture.
Grate sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheeses.
Place cream cheese, sour cream and spices in the bowl of a stand mixer. The sour cream keeps the spread nice and loose even after being refrigerated so you can easily scoop it up with crackers. Mix on high until combined and the mixture is light and fluffy with no lumps.
Add green onions, grated sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheeses.
Mix on low to combine everything together.
Spread the herbed cheese mixture out in a serving dish in an even layer.
Top with a layer of your favorite pepper jelly.
Cover and refrigerate for 4-6 hours to allow flavors to combine and fully develop.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve chilled with plenty of assorted crackers.
This easy to make appetizer is perfect for all your summer parties. It comes together in just a few quick minutes and you’ll be coming home with a clean dish. Once folks give it a taste they’ll be scooping it up until it’s all gone.
