Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 8 oz Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 cup Crushed pecans
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 cup Strawberry jam
- optional Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
Gently fold in the crushed pecans until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Line a round bundt pan or small ring mold with plastic wrap, ensuring the edges of the plastic wrap extend over the sides for easy removal.
Press the cheese mixture firmly into the plastic-wrapped mold, smoothing the surface to ensure an even shape.
Cover with the overhanging plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the cheese ring is firm and easy to handle.
When ready to serve, carefully invert the mold onto a serving platter and remove the plastic wrap.
Spoon the strawberry jam into the center of the cheese ring and spread it slightly to fill the space.
Serve with crackers or sliced baguette on the side for scooping, and enjoy!
