	Reggiano Cheese Spread I made this for a dinner party last year as one of the appetizers and it was a great hit. So much so, that at this year's party I was asked if I'd made it again! Quite a compliment to remember a recipe over a year later!! This recipe comes from aileen davies of Nepean, Ontario.

Here's what you do

Bring cream, garlic, nutmeg and pepper to a boil in a heavy saucepan set over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; remove and discard garlic. Add cheese, about 1/2 c.(125 ml) at a time, stirring constantly until all the cheese is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat, pour into a round 3-cup(750 ml) bowl, cool to room temperature. Cover dish and refrigerate until mixture firms up, about 4 hrs. or overnight. Scoop cheese with a small ice-cream scoop or melon baller. Arrange balls to resemble a bunch of grapes. Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar, if using. Serve with bread and fruit. Makes 6 servings. Excellent source calcium, good source vitamin A. Can be made at least 8 hours ahead.
