Chef’s Tips:
- For added flavor, you can experiment with different types of cheese such as Gouda or Swiss.
- Make sure to finely chop the onion to ensure it blends smoothly into the cheese mixture.
- You can prepare the cheese roll ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
- If you prefer a nut-free version, you can omit the pecans or substitute them with chopped herbs or seeds.
- Get creative with your garnishes! Besides parsley, you can also use fresh herbs like chives or dill to add color and flavor to your cheese roll presentation.
