HERBED CHEESE SPREAD
Tastes just like the expensive Boursin® cheese spread you buy at the store. Reduced-fat cream cheese works well in this recipe. Delicious spread on crackers or as a fill on celery sticks. Good shelf life in the refrigerator. This can be eaten right way, but it's best if refrigerated for at least one day before serving.

Steps:
- Combine the cream cheese, Cheddar, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and shallots in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until thoroughly blended. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large sheet of plastic wrap, cover with a second sheet of plastic wrap and form into a football shape. Wrap up in the plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the butter, rosemary and thyme in a small bowl and microwave until melted.
- Lay the crackers out on two baking sheets. Brush the tops with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the herb butter. Bake until fragrant and a shade darker, about 10 minutes. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to eat. (The crackers can be made up to 2 days ahead.)
- Toss the walnuts with the remaining herb butter and arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Cool completely, then finely chop.
- Unwrap the cheese ball and cover completely with the walnuts. Transfer to a serving dish. Separate the string cheese into strands and arrange them to look like the laces on a football. Serve with the herbed crackers and crudites.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese will give your crackers the best flavor.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the crackers to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the crackers until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a nice crunch.
- Let the crackers cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up and become even crispier.
- Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
