How to Make Cheese Stuffed Pecans

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Toast 1 cup pecan halves on a baking sheet for 10 minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool completely.
In a medium mixing bowl, bring 8 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) to room temperature.
Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream to the cheese.
Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Using a teaspoon, pipe or spoon the cheese mixture onto the flat side of half of the toasted pecans.
Top with the remaining pecan halves, flat side down, gently pressing to adhere.
Serve immediately or chill for later. Yields approximately 10-12 stuffed pecans.
