I feel so completely happy with every cracker covered bite I take of this pecan cheese spread. The flavor is addictive. The ingredients seem like an odd combination. We have been cooking lots in my family & my sister in law is responsible for finding this recipe that we just cannot get enough of. Serve it with BIG wheat thins. And for the pecans - we use the pecans we soak overnight and roast for 24 hours. You can find the recipe for those here.
8 oz. cream cheese - room temp
1 teaspoon sweet onion, grated
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Toast pecans or roast them like I do in this recipe.
Combine cream cheese, onion, and garlic. Spoon this onto a serving platter or you can shape it into a disc if you want to be fancier.
Combine butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and mustard in a saucepan. Cook on medium heat 4-5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat - stir in pecans and cool slightly before spooning over the cheese mixture. Dip can be served warm or at room temperature. And the wheat thins are really good with it.
Enjoy!!!
