Categories     appetizer

Time 3h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound cream cheese, softened
8 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded
3/4 teaspoon hot sauce
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 medium shallot, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 1/4 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
One 9.1-ounce box whole-wheat crackers, such as Wheat Thins
1 1/4 cups walnuts
1 piece white string cheese
Vegetable crudites, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the cream cheese, Cheddar, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and shallots in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until thoroughly blended. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large sheet of plastic wrap, cover with a second sheet of plastic wrap and form into a football shape. Wrap up in the plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the butter, rosemary and thyme in a small bowl and microwave until melted.
  • Lay the crackers out on two baking sheets. Brush the tops with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the herb butter. Bake until fragrant and a shade darker, about 10 minutes. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to eat. (The crackers can be made up to 2 days ahead.)
  • Toss the walnuts with the remaining herb butter and arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Cool completely, then finely chop.
  • Unwrap the cheese ball and cover completely with the walnuts. Transfer to a serving dish. Separate the string cheese into strands and arrange them to look like the laces on a football. Serve with the herbed crackers and crudites.

HERBED CHEESE AND CRACKERS

You have to use the Ritz Bitz cheese crackers, not the peanut butter, for this recipe to work well. They have a wonderful flavor and go well with anything or by themselves. It only takes a few minutes of prep time and stores well in an airtight container for several weeks (if they last that long.)

HERBED CHEESE SPREAD



Herbed Cheese Spread image

Tastes just like the expensive Boursin® cheese spread you buy at the store. Reduced-fat cream cheese works well in this recipe. Delicious spread on crackers or as a fill on celery sticks. Good shelf life in the refrigerator. This can be eaten right way, but it's best if refrigerated for at least one day before serving.
