• 2 cups sharp white cheddar cheese
• 1 cup smoked blue cheese crumbles
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 4 tablespoons softened butter
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
• 1/4 cup minced chives
• 1 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 round tablespoon grainy Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Chopped smoked almonds or walnuts and finely chopped parsley, to roll
Place the cheddar, blue cheese, cream cheese, butter, garlic, chives, maple syrup, Dijon and Worcestershire in a mixing bowl and mix until well-combined.
Place the cheese mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap and from it into a big ball. Refrigerate for an hour to firm up.
Once firm, roll the cheese ball to coat in the chopped nuts and parsley.
