  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

John's Notes
There are many variations on this simple recipe. You can use almost any hard cheese. If you prefer a less spicy flavour, omit the cayenne. Roll in chilli powder or paprika instead of nuts. Serve with a dip of yogurt and fresh chopped chives.

If you don't have a stand mixer you can still make this recipe the old-fashioned way with a pudding bowl tucked under your arm and a thick, strong wooden spoon.

If you have these common ingredients available you can make this handy recipe to entertain guests during a commercial break on TV.
