Instructions
 

For the Bagel Chips

  • Transfer the chips to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden. Set them aside to cool.

For the Cold Pack

  • While the bagel chips are cooling, place the garlic, parsley, and jalapeño in a large food processor. Blitz until it resembles mulch.

  • Add the Red Leicester, Double Gloucester, horseradish, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the food processor and blitz until the cheese is broken down into fine pieces.

  • Set the food processor on low and add the goat cheese about a teaspoon at a time. Finally, slowly stream in enough cream to get the cold pack to the consistency you want. I used four tablespoons.
