Mr. Collins Cheese-ball

While its namesake is cheesy you may find this savory treat a little more sensible. Served with crackers.

I'm working on a post with all the pictures from our 14 year old's recent Jane Austen themed birthday party. In the meantime here is the recipe for the "Mr. Collins Cheese-ball" that Chiquita made as one of the appetizers for her older sister's birthday and movie night!

Mr. Collins Cheese-ball

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 3 green onions, chopped (whites and greens)
• 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp. dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 cup pecans, chopped

Directions:

Mix the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, onions, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt together until well-combined.

Turn the mixture onto a large sheet of plastic wrap, cover and shape into a ball. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to one hour.

Place the chopped pecans on a small plate, remove the cheese ball from the fridge and gently roll in the pecans, helping them to stick to the outside of the cheese ball.

Serve with crackers.
