Instructions

1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

2

Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and uniform.

3

Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Transfer the cheese mixture onto the plastic wrap.

4

Shape the cheese mixture into a ball by wrapping the plastic wrap around it and rolling it gently between your hands.

5

Refrigerate the cheese ball for at least 1 hour to firm it up.

6

Before serving, spread the chopped parsley and pecans on a plate. Unwrap the cheese ball and roll it in the parsley and pecans until fully coated.

7

Place the cheese ball on a serving dish and surround it with crackers, veggies, or bread slices for dipping.

Chef's Tips

  • Make Ahead: The cheese ball can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Variations: Try rolling the cheese ball in bacon bits, crushed pretzels, or dried cranberries for different flavors.
  • Soften Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
  • Serving Tip: Let the cheese ball sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving for optimal spreadability.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
