Tips:

• For added flavor, try incorporating different herbs or spices into the cheese mixture, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or dried herbs.
• If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pulse the green onions, garlic, and pimiento in a food processor before adding them to the cream cheese mixture.
• To make ahead, prepare the cheese mixture and shape it into a ball, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before rolling it in pecans and serving.
• To freeze the cheese ball, omit rolling it in pecans. Instead, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before rolling it in pecans and serving.
