I found this wonderful recipe on another site and then modified it a little. There were two recipes there and I chose this one to make because I prefer chopped nuts on a cheese ball. It is so pretty and great for the Super Bowl.

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.
