Rosie's Cheese Log

Rosie is a very long time and cherished family friend. I'm not sure how old this recipe of hers is, but it's older than me, & I'm older than Star Wars (ep IV) so it's quite old.  This cheese log is something I clearly grew up eating on special occasions and have always loved. For the first time this year, I got the recipe & made it myself. My husband LOVED it & now wants it to be a staple in our house, but it's meant to be "special occasion" cheese log so I'm on the fence about making it weekly. It's very simple to make, & you could add other things like bacon or hot sauce if you like but I'm a purest. This recipe is so old, I like it just the way it is :-)

What you'll need:

8 oz brick of cream cheese (room temperature)
4 oz of blue cheese crumbles
1/2 jar of Kraft Old English cheese spread (The jar can be found in the cooler section of your store near cheese spreads, sliced cheeses, cream cheeses, etc)
Worcestershire Sauce (Several dashes)
Chopped Pecans

What to do:
About 1 hour before I make the log, I bring the Old English and the Blue Cheese to room temperature as well. In a large bowl, add all of the cheeses together and using 'masher' mash all of the cheeses until they are incorporated. Then add the Worchestershire sauce and a few pecans to taste, I added 2 tablespoons. Continue to mash until the cheese is smooth.

                        

        
                                   



Roll out plastic wrap and pour some pecans onto it. Spoon out all of the cheese mixture onto the pecans and begin to roll the cheese over the pecans (Like a sushi roll) forming the shape of a log in the plastic wrap. As you roll be sure to add more pecans so the entire log is covered in nuts. Keep rolling so the log is as long and wide as you like. Place the cheese log in the fridge and chill for at least several hours before eating. I let it chill overnight.

 

                            

 

Enjoy! :-)
