Number Of Ingredients 9

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 plus a pinch of cayenne pepper
2 packages (8 ounces each) 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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put pecans, butter, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon 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.
  • Process cream cheese, cheddar, and cream in a food processor until well combined. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in scallions, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining pinch of cayenne.
  • Spoon cheese mixture into 2 round baking dishes (6 to 7 inches in diameter and about 1 inch deep). Arrange glazed pecans on top. Bake until dip is just heated through, about 10 minutes.

I was not sure how this recipe would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cheese dip was creamy and flavorful and the glazed pecans were a nice addition. I would definitely make this again.

This was an amazing recipe! I have made it many times and it always comes out great. The glazed pecans add the perfect touch of sweetness and crunch and the melted cheese is always a crowd-pleaser.
