Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams blue cheese
- 230 grams cream cheese
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 150 grams chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
- 1 roll plastic wrap
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, and unsalted butter. Allow the ingredients to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes before mixing.
Using a fork or hand mixer, blend the cheeses and butter until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the garlic powder and dried parsley, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Scoop half of the cheese mixture onto the plastic wrap and shape it into a log about 5-6 inches (15 cm) long. Repeat with the second half of the mixture to create two logs.
Spread the chopped pecans onto a clean, flat surface or plate. Gently roll the cheese logs over the pecans, pressing lightly to ensure the nuts adhere to the cheese.
Wrap each log tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Before serving, unwrap the cheese logs and, if desired, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh chives for garnish.
Serve chilled alongside crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetable sticks. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
