Holiday Cheeseball Wreath
- 1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 cups shredded firm cheese, such as Cheddar, pepper Jack or Colby
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup pickled piquante peppers, such as Peppadews, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
- Crackers, sliced bread or crudites, for serving
- Special equipment: a small (6-cup) Bundt pan
- Line the inside of a 6-cup Bundt pan with plastic wrap.
- Process the cream cheese, shredded cheese, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and few grinds of pepper in a food processor until smooth.
- Empty the mixture into a medium bowl, and fold in all but 2 tablespoons of the chopped peppers.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into the prepared Bundt pan; pack it in, spread into an even layer and cover (or simply form the cheese mixture into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic wrap).
- Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour up to 2 days.
- Uncover and invert the cheese mold (or unwrap and transfer the ball) onto a serving platter.
- Sprinkle with the chives and parsley to completely coat the wreath, and garnish with the reserved 2 tablespoons peppers.
- Serve with crackers, sliced bread or crudites.
