Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 4.25 oz Deviled ham (canned)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
- 2 pieces Scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup Chopped pecans (for coating)
- Crackers or vegetables (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, deviled ham, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon to mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
Add the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and hot sauce (if using). Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices and flavorings.
Fold in the finely chopped scallions and parsley, ensuring they are evenly mixed into the cheese mixture.
Form the mixture into a ball shape using your hands. Wrap the cheese ball with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up and allow the flavors to meld together.
Spread the chopped pecans on a large plate or shallow dish. Unwrap the chilled cheese ball and roll it in the pecans, gently pressing to ensure even coating on all sides.
Serve the deviled ham cheese ball on a platter with crackers, sliced vegetables, or your preferred dippers. Enjoy!
