  • Ingredients

Ingredients
  

  • 8- ounce package of cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup pecan halves, to be turned into finely chopped toasted pecans below
  • 2 tablespoons onion, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup 46 g FirstRate™
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
  • Sturdy gluten-free crackers

Instructions
 

  • Set cream cheese out to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F to toast pecans.
  • Spread 1 cup of pecans evenly over an ungreased baking sheet (note: that nuts may toast faster on dark baking sheets and slower on light-colored ones).
  • Place the baking sheet with pecans in the oven and toast for 4 - 5 minutes.
  • Allow pecans to cool, then cut into finely chopped toasted pecans (note: don’t use extra pecans)
  • Thoroughly mix the room temperature cream cheese, onion, and garlic in a small bowl. Transfer the mixture to a serving plate and shape it into a 6-inch disk. Cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour. (note: you can make this ahead of time and pull out before event)
  • 30 min before you are ready to serve, remove the cheese mixture from the refrigerator and allow it to return to room temperature.
  • In a medium saucepan, add the butter and FirstRateTM. Stir until mixed well. Add the Worcestershire sauce, then the mustard. Stir continuously over medium heat. Add in toasted pecans. Sauté pecans for 3 - 5 min in sauce.
  • Allow the mixture to cool slightly for a few minutes. Then spoon pecans over cream cheese, allowing the pecans to fall over the sides.
