After the Festival of Cheese and throwing a cheese tasting party, I still had a bunch of extra cheese that I did not know what to do with. This recipe was perfect! I used a gouda, white cheddar, monterrey jack, and a leyden. It is so easy to make. Thank you Alton! This episode of Good Eats was so helpful!

This was so easy and delicious! I used a combination of sharp cheddar, swiss and gorgonzola because that's what I had in the fridge. My dip ended up with more texture than Alton's did, but I think that's because the gorgonzola wasn't at room temperature. I added a couple of extra tablespoons of wine to finish out a small bottle, which made it creamier. This is a good basic recipe that you can play around with, adding other ingredients depending on the cheese you use.

This is a keeper, I haven't made one yet that I did not like. Adding a little cottage cheese lightened it up a bit the last time I made it.

I emptied my freezer of all the bits and pieces of cheese I have been hoarding and let them sit out a couple of hours to come to room temperature. I added four ounces of cream cheese to the bits of Swiss, cheddar, parmiggiano, gruyere, havarti, and Romano along with the garlic, parsley, and a glug of Chardonnay. The result is delicious! I took half of the batch to leave as it is and added an ounce or so of Bleu cheese crumbles to the remainder. A few seconds in the food processor and voila! Another fantastic version. Thank you, Alton!

Fantastic!!! I was out of wine so I had to walk to the store, and good thing I did as I could eat the whole bowl of it! Some chives and black pepper are a welcome addition. I had to add some additional wine to get the consistency I wanted.

Alton, I have proclaimed you the demigod of leftover cheeses. This stuff is for shiz. I used ricotta, cream cheese, pepper jack, medium cheddar, and a slice of muenster just to top it off at 1lb. The best cheese dip I've ever had.

I made this with Cheez Whiz, some leftover Kraft Singles and Caciocavallo Podolico.

It was perfect served with bologna and Iberico de Bellota ham.

We even made homemade savoury twinkies by baking some tiny brioche loaves and injecting them with the cheese goo.

Very Good! I used about 5 oz ea of swiss and white cheddar. Then the rest was a mix of blue cheese and cream cheese and parmesan.

Didn't use the parsley because I didn't have any. I also added some seasoning salt.

Can't stop eating it!!!
