Zesty Strawberry Cheese Ring
A cheese ring with a bright strawberry center is exactly the kind of retro party idea worth bringing back. Zesty garlic gives the cheddar base a savory kick, while strawberry balsamic turns the preserves glossy, tangy and impossible to ignore on a buttery cracker.
Ingredients
Method
- Beat cream cheese, cheddar, Ellbee's Zesty Gourmet Garlic, Ellbee's Garlic Olive Oil, scallions and pecans together until creamy and evenly combined.
- Shape the mixture into a ring on a serving plate, leaving a wide well in the center. Press extra chopped pecans around the outside and chill for at least 20 minutes.
- Stir strawberry preserves with Ellbee's Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar until glossy, then spoon into the center just before serving.
- Serve with buttery crackers and fresh strawberries for a sweet-salty, savory first bite.
Notes
Time: 25 min
Kitchen tip: Line a small bowl with plastic wrap, pack in the cheese mixture, then unmold it onto a plate for the cleanest ring shape.
