Beer Cheese Dip

By Sam Pierce

Ingredients (~8-10 servings)

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 3/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup beer (PBR works great)
  • 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated by hand

Combine Base Ingredients and Heat

Add the heavy cream, egg yolk, Worcestershire, dijon, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt to a saucepan.

Turn the heat to medium and cook until just simmering; you’ll see small bubbles forming around the edges but it shouldn’t be at a rolling boil.

Add Beer and Cheese

Pour in the beer and add the shredded cheddar cheese all at once.

Stir constantly for ~1 minute – the mixture will look clumpy at first but keep stirring.

Finish Off Heat Until Smooth

Pull the pot off the heat and continue stirring until the cheese melts completely and the dip becomes smooth.

If it seems too thick, add beer 1 tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency you want.

Serve immediately while hot with soft pretzels or crusty bread.

Beer Cheese Dip

This takes less than 10 minutes from start to finish. The egg yolk keeps it smooth and prevents the cheese from breaking when it hits the heat.
