Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 8 oz Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Chopped green onions
- 1 cup Crushed pecans or walnuts
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 sheet Plastic wrap
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sharp cheddar cheese. Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
Shape the cheese mixture into a rough log shape using your hands or a spatula.
Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on your work surface and sprinkle half the crushed pecans (or walnuts) and chopped parsley evenly across the center.
Roll the cheese log over the nut and parsley mixture, pressing gently as you go to ensure the coating adheres. Use the remaining nuts and parsley to fill in any uncovered spots.
Wrap the cheese log tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
To serve, remove the plastic wrap and place the cheese log on a platter. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve with crackers, sliced baguette, or vegetable sticks.
