Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 4.25 oz Deviled ham
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tbsp Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
- Crackers or fresh vegetables (for serving)
Instructions
Place the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and let it soften to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Add the deviled ham, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), and finely chopped green onions to the bowl.
Using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon, thoroughly combine the ingredients until smooth and evenly blended.
Shape the mixture into a ball using your hands. If the mixture is too soft to shape, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Spread the chopped parsley and pecans on a flat surface. Roll the cheese ball in the parsley and pecans until it is evenly coated on all sides.
Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, let the cheese ball sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly for easier spreading.
Serve with crackers, fresh vegetables, or your choice of dippers. Enjoy!
