Ingredients:
- 3-5 oz blue cheese
- 8 oz Roquefort cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup finely diced green pepper
- 2-3 tbsp diced pimientos
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
Instructions:
-
Blend Cheeses: In a mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, Roquefort cheese, and cream cheese. Using a spatula or electric mixer, blend the cheeses together until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Add Flavorful Ingredients: Stir in the finely diced green pepper, diced pimientos, and garlic salt. Mix gently until the peppers and pimientos are evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture, infusing it with their savory flavors.
-
Chill the Mixture: Transfer the cheese mixture onto a large sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap it tightly, shaping it into a ball as you go. Place the wrapped cheese ball in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
-
Coat with Nuts: Once the cheese ball has chilled and firmed up, remove it from the refrigerator. Unwrap the plastic wrap and carefully roll the cheese ball in the chopped pecans and walnuts, ensuring that the entire surface is coated evenly with the crunchy nut mixture.
-
Chill Again: After coating the cheese ball with nuts, return it to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour. Chilling helps the flavors meld together and allows the nuts to adhere to the surface of the cheese ball, creating a deliciously textured exterior.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once thoroughly chilled, transfer the cheese ball to a serving platter. Accompany it with your favorite crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetable crudites for dipping. Serve and enjoy the creamy, savory goodness of Ann’s Bleu Cheese Ball with your family and friends!
