Cheese Ball
In an electric mixer using the paddle attachment beat cream cheese until smooth then add remaining ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.

Coating
2 oz parsley flakes
Sprinkle cookie sheet or large piece of foil with parsley flakes and pecan pieces. Roll cheese ball in parsley and pecans to coat.
Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight.
For serving, it’s best to allow the cheese ball to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Serve with buttery crackers.
Note: This recipe does make 2-3 cheese balls, which is great if you’re hosting a party or want to give it as a gift. If that’s not the case, consider reducing the recipe by half to make one cheese ball.
