How to Make Festive Cheese Ring
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese, pecans, green onions, and garlic powder. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Generously spray a 5-cup mini bundt pan with cooking spray. Evenly distribute the chopped pecans into the bottom of each mini bundt cup.
- Fill each mini bundt cup with the cheese mixture, pressing firmly to pack.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until heated through and lightly golden.
- Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Carefully unmold the cheese rings onto a serving plate.
- Fill the center of each ring with your favorite jam or preserves.
- Serve with crispy wheat crackers or Wheat Thins for the perfect holiday appetizer.
