Cranberry-Pecan Cheese Ball
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 6 oz. cheddar cheese, grated (about 1 3/4 cup)
- 3 oz. Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (dark green parts separated)
- 3/4 c. dried cranberries
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 3/4 c. chopped toasted pecans
- Cooking spray
Directions
- Combine the cream cheese, cheddar, gorgonzola, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, garlic, light scallion parts, ¼ cup dried cranberries, the salt and pepper in a food processor.
- Pulse until the mixture is almost smooth (you still want a few bits of cheese and cranberries in there).
- Finely chop the remaining ½ cup dried cranberries, the dark green scallion parts and the pecans and toss in a shallow dish.
- Scoop the cheese mixture from the food processor with a rubber spatula and add to the dish with the pecan mixture.
- Coat your hands with cooking spray and shape the cheese mixture into a ball.
- Roll and press the ball in the pecan mixture to coat.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
- Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve with crackers
