Making the perfect benedictine is an art in Louisville. There are many variations on this classic and everyone has a favorite. My favorite is more of a spread than a dip and does not incorporate food coloring or mayonnaise. This version is simple and delicious and really lets the flavors shine. I love to serve it on interesting bread. This loaf is from Wiltshire Bakery. It is their Pecan Cranberry Sourdough. It smells amazing and is so delicious with benedictine. I added some watercress and it was the perfect light lunch!
