XXVIII: Cheese ball

I can't say no to cheese. Ever.

1 lb cream cheese, room temperature
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
1 T dijon mustard
1 t worcestershire sauce
pinch ground pepper
1 c pecans, finely chopped

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat all ingredients except pecans. Mix in pecans. Cover cheese mixture with plastic wrap and chill at least 2.5 hrs or up to overnight.
Divide the cheese mixture in half and shape each half into a ball. Spread 3/4 c finely chopped pecans on a plate and roll bals in pecans to coat completely, pressing nuts to adhere. Serve chilled.
