Christmas Cheese Log

Here’s a fun and straightforward Christmas recipe that you can make with minimal effort:

Ingredients:

• 2 large packages Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
• 1 container Wispride sharp cheese, softened
• 1/2 to 1 cup minced parsley (adjust to taste)
• 1 scant teaspoon Tabasco sauce (adjust to taste)
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

1. Please prepare the Cheese: Ensure that the Philadelphia cream cheese and the Wispride sharp cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing.

2. Mix the Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened cream cheese and Wispride sharp cheese until smooth and well combined.

3. Add Ingredients: Stir in the Tabasco sauce, finely chopped onion, half of the chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup of minced parsley. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.

4. Chill: Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 1-2 hours.

5. Shape the Logs: Once the mixture is firm, divide it into three portions and shape each into a log.

6. Roll in Nuts and Parsley: Roll each log in the remaining chopped pecans and minced parsley until well coated.

7. Wrap and Store: To keep logs fresh, wrap each log in Saran Wrap and then put it in foil.

8. Garnish and Serve: When ready to serve, garnish with holly (if desired) and slice into rounds. Serve with your choice of crackers.
