Pecan-Coated Cheese Ball

Recipes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped pecans, divided

  • Two-8 ounce packages cream cheese

  • 1 small jar Roka bleu cheese

  • 1 small jar Old English cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese

  • 1 small onion, minced fine

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

  1. To prepare pecans for the best flavor, preheat the oven to 250° F. for a light roasting.
  2. Rinse the pecan kernels quickly in a colander under running water for 10 seconds to remove any dust from the shells, then quickly blot the pecans dry on paper towels – you do not want them to get ‘limber’ or water-logged.
  3. Roast the pecans in the slow oven for 10 minutes in a very lightly buttered pan or until lightly brown. Set the pecans aside to cool, then chop for the last step.
  4. Soften the cream cheese and mix with the other cheeses and ingredients, except half of the chopped pecans.
  5. Form into two balls and chill.
  6. Roll in the chopped pecans (and parsley, if desired). Chill.
  7. Serve with crackers.
