Serve as a sandwich filling or dip for veggies. My grandmother would slice sticks of celery and fill them as an appetizer for parties. You can also make a nice lunch with this as a filling in lettuce wraps.
Grate the cheese yourself so you can reduce hidden carbs from pre-grated cheese, that is often coated with corn starch. Please avoid using the Kraft Cheddar block that is processed cheese and not natural cheese as it has the wrong flavor profile. You want a sharp cheddar for the best flavor. Also it really does help to let this sit overnight and marinate.
