1 cup chopped pecans
1 pound sharp cheddar cheese
1 small onion, grated (see notes)
1 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Toast pecans in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and slightly browned. Remove pecans from skillet to cool. Set aside a few tablespoons to garnish the cheese ring before serving if desired.
  • Shred cheese then add to a large mixing bowl. Add grated onion, mayo, cayenne pepper and toasted pecans then mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Spoon cheese mixture onto a serving plate then shape into a ring. This isn't as hard as it sounds - I easily shape mine using a rubber spatula. Cover with plastic wrap then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
6 turns freshly ground black pepper
dash of cayenne pepper
12 ounce jar strawberry preserves

Steps:

  • 1. Combine cheese with mayonnaise, chopped nuts and onion. Mix in black pepper and cayenne, and blend thoroughly.
  • 2. Press into 3-cup ring mold. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • 3. To serve, dip mold into a pan of hot water for 15-20 seconds before turning out on to a serving platter.
  • 4. Fill center with strawberry preserves and serve at once with Ritz crackers.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the cheese. A good cheddar or combination of cheeses will make all the difference in the flavor of the cheese ring.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
  • When assembling the cheese ring, make sure to press the edges of the dough together firmly. This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Bake the cheese ring until it is golden brown and the filling is melted and bubbly. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the cheese ring cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

Rosalynn Carter's Cheese Ring is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion.
