Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 8 oz Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 cup Crushed pecans or walnuts
- 2 tbsp Parsley, freshly chopped (optional)
- Crackers or veggies for serving
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using a spatula or hand mixer until fully combined and smooth.
Gently fold in the finely chopped green onions to evenly distribute throughout the mixture.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to firm up and make shaping easier.
Once the mixture is firm, remove it from the fridge and shape it into a ball using your hands or a large spoon.
Spread the crushed pecans or walnuts on a large plate. Roll the cheese ball in the nuts until the surface is fully coated.
If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the cheese ball for added flavor and color.
Place the cheese ball on a serving platter and surround it with crackers or veggies of your choice.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for best texture.
