Ingredients

The following ingredients have 30 Servings
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 (8-ounce) package sharp or intense (white)cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic (or garlic salt)
  • dash of cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 (8-ounce) package medium cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 (8-ounce) package mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup toasted, chopped nuts for rolling

Instruction

  • Combine the cream cheese and 8-ounces of the cheddar cheese in the bowl of a food processor, or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.  Add the Worcestershire Sauce, garlic, cayenne and mayonnaise. Process until well blended.  Add another 8-ounces of the cheddar cheese and process again until mixed well. Remove the cheese mixture to a large bowl and add the remaining 8-ounces of shredded cheddar.  Blend using a wooden spoon until combined.  Divide the cheese ball in half and wrap each in a large sheet of plastic wrap.  Twist the extra plastic wrap together at the top, forming the cheese into a ball.  Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.  
  • When ready to serve, roll the cheese ball in chopped toasted pecans, sliced almonds, chopped parsley, or chili powder.
