Ingredients

• 120 grams Blue cheese, crumbled
• 225 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 120 grams Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
• 100 grams Pecans, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, and grated sharp cheddar cheese using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until smooth and well blended.

Step 2

Add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and dried parsley to the cheese mixture. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into a ball using your hands or a piece of plastic wrap. Wrap the cheese ball tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Step 4

While the cheese ball chills, prepare the coating by mixing the finely chopped pecans and fresh chives (if using) in a shallow dish or plate.

Step 5

Remove the cheese ball from the fridge, unwrap it, and roll it in the pecan mixture until evenly coated on all sides.

Step 6

Place the cheese ball on a serving platter. Serve immediately with crackers, sliced baguette, or vegetable sticks, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
