Equipment

Mixing Bowls
Plastic Wrap
Herb Scissors optional
Charcuterie Tray Serving Plate
Cheese Knives optional

Ingredients

2 8 ounce packages cream cheese softened
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh chives
2 tablespoons fresh dill
2 tablespoons fresh oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup pecans finely chopped

Instructions

Use your herb scissors or a sharp knife and chop 2 tablespoons of each of your fresh herbs. Add the softened cream cheese, parmesan cheese and the chopped fresh parsley, chives, dill, oregano into a medium bowl. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, and onion powder and stir until very well blended.
Form the mixture into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour.
When the garlic herb cheese ball has hardened, remove the plastic wrap from the ball and coat the outside in chopped pecans.
Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve. We love serving this garlic herb cheese ball on one of our charcuterie boards with cheese knives and an array of crackers.
