Time 30m

Yield 1 twelve-inch log

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
1/2 cup minced fresh chives
1/4 cup finely minced fresh Italian parsley
cracker, for serving

Steps:

  • Add cream cheese to a big bowl and, using an electric mixer, beat until soft and creamy.
  • Add in the milk, cayenne, Worcestershire, garlic, and cheddar cheese; continue to beat just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Line an 8 x 12 inch pan with parchment paper or wax paper, making sure there is a 3-inch overhang at each of the long ends.
  • Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the paper.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto the pecans.
  • Using a flexible rubber spatula or an offset spatula, spread the cheese into the pan, making sure you reach into the corners.
  • Sprinkle the chives and parsley evenly over the cheese.
  • Using the ends of the parchment, gently lift the cheese out of the pan; starting at the long end, begin rolling the cheese into a log, as if you were rolling up a jelly roll.
  • Using the parchment paper, wrap the log, twisting both ends tightly; refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.
  • Serve with crackers.
