Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Pecans, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- 0 Crackers or vegetable sticks (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well-combined.
Step 3
Form the cheese mixture into a ball shape using your hands or a spatula. 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.
Step 4
Spread the finely chopped pecans and optional parsley on a clean plate or cutting board.
Step 5
Once chilled, unwrap the cheese ball and roll it in the pecan-parsley mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres evenly to the surface.
Step 6
Transfer the finished cheese ball to a serving platter and pair it with crackers or vegetable sticks for dipping. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
