This is perfect for the Christmas & New Year's Season. Cheese logs can be prepared ahead & frozen. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and voila you have a wonderful appetizer, already made! This is originally from Southern Living, March 2004. However, I took the liberty to make some changes, for the good, I hope. Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
8 ounces cracker barrel sharp cheddar cheese, cubed |
2 (4 ounce) packages blue cheese, crumbled |
1/2 small onion, grated |
1 1/2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1/4 cup brandy |
2 cups pecans, finely chopped, toasted, divided |
2 cups finely chopped fresh parsley, divided |
rye cocktail bread or pumpernickel cocktail bread or cracker |
Directions:
1. Process cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, blue cheese, grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper & brandy in a food processor 1-2 minutes until combined, stopping to scrape down sides.
2. Stir together cheese mixture, 1 cup pecans and 1/2 cup parsley.
3. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
4. Shape cheese mixture into 4 (7-inch) logs.
5. Combine remaining 1 cup of pecans and 1-1/2 cups parsley.
6. Roll logs in parsley mixture; cover and chill until ready to serve.
7. Serve with cocktail breads or crackers.
