- 1.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Pecans, finely chopped
- 1 package Crackers or baguette slices (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Use a hand mixer or wooden spoon to blend until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Add finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
Step 3
On a clean surface, spread the chopped pecans in an even layer.
Step 4
Form the cheese mixture into a ball or log shape, then roll it gently over the chopped pecans, pressing lightly to ensure the nuts stick to the surface.
Step 5
Place the cheese appetizer on a serving plate. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
Step 6
Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers or sliced baguette on the side.
