Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.75 cup Pecans, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 pack Crackers or bread slices (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded Swiss cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and Dijon mustard.
Using a hand mixer or spatula, blend the ingredients until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Form the cheese mixture into a ball shape using your hands. Wet your fingers slightly with water to make shaping easier if the mixture is sticky.
Spread the finely chopped pecans on a large plate or shallow dish.
Carefully roll the cheese ball in the chopped pecans until it is fully coated on all sides.
If desired, sprinkle or roll the cheese ball in chopped parsley for added color and freshness.
Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the ball to firm up.
Serve the Swiss Nut Cheese Ball chilled or at room temperature with crackers, bread slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
