This Martha Stewart cheese dip sounds fabulous! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups pecan halves |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
3 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature |
8 ounces extra-sharp white cheddar cheese, grated |
1/4 cup heavy cream |
2 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put pecans, butter, brown sugar, 1 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper into a medium bowl; toss to combine. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until fragrant and sugar has melted, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
3. Process cream cheese, cheddar, and cream in food processor until well combined. Transfer to medium bowl. Stir in scallions, remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt, and remaining pinch cayenne pepper.
4. Spoon cheese mixture into 2 round baking dishes (6-7 in diameter and about 1 deep). Arrange glazed pecans on top. Bake until dip is just heated through, about 10 minutes.
