Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Diced pecans
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
- Crackers or vegetable sticks (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped green onions.
Use a spatula or clean hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined and smooth.
Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Transfer the cheese mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap and shape it into a ball (it doesn’t have to be perfect).
Wrap the plastic wrap tightly around the cheese ball and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.
While the cheese ball is chilling, prepare the coating by placing the diced pecans and parsley (if using) onto a large plate or shallow dish.
Once the cheese ball is firm, remove it from the fridge and plastic wrap. Gently roll it into the pecans and parsley mixture until it’s evenly coated on all sides.
Place the cheese ball onto a serving platter and serve immediately with crackers, vegetable sticks, or your favorite dippers. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
