Alchimie de fromage

OR Cheese Alchemy. This is not the alchemy of the middle ages. We are not creating gold here. Well, sort of.
Alchemy is the process of transmuting a substance of little value into a substance of great value. In the case Cheese scraps. I will admit it! I am a cheese addict! I love Cheese. Cows milk cheese. Goats milk cheese, sheep milk cheese. You name the type of cheese and it's on my list.  However, occasionally there sometimes are little bits of leftover cheese here and there.  These seeming 'useless' bits of cheese get transmuted into an interesting and delicious cheese spread in this recipe.
It does not matter what cheese you use in this recipe, use anything you have on hand or leftover in any combination. Trim cheese bits of rinds and light mold before adding to the recipe.  Adjust the garlic and salt and pepper to taste.

Alchimie de fromage

1/2 pound of assorted cheese bits.
1-2 cloves of Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste.
1/4 to 1/3 cup White Wine.

Add the Cheese, Garlic, Salt and Pepper and 1/4 cup of the White Wine to a food processor. Process at full speed until cheese comes together into a spreadable consistency with no lumps. Add a little more wine if needed.
Using a rubber spatula, remove the spread from the processor to a covered storage dish.
Use on crackers or bread as a spread or spread on toasted bread and lightly broil till golden brown.
