These delicious little cheddar cheese cubes make the perfect addition to any snack or appetizer tray. They are also great as an addition as a side dish to breakfast, lunch, or dinner entrees. Requiring a small amount of hands-on prep, and then marinating overnight in the refrigerator, they are extremely simple to make. Make them to have with a family meal or as an appetizer when entertaining a crowd, and then share the recipe with your friends and family members on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.
For 16 1-ounce servings, combine all of the ingredients listed below, except for the cubed cheddar and olive oil, in a medium size mixing bowl and whisk until well blended. Slowly add in the oil, whisking until emulsified. Then add in the cubed Cabot Sharp Cheddar (or Cabot Horseradish Cheddar) and gently stir and toss to cover all the cheddar cheese cubes with the marinade. Cover and let set overnight in the refrigerator.
When ready to serve, place the marinated cheddar cheese cubes in a bowl. Serve with crackers or sliced baguette.
