Step 1

Warm the cream cheese in the microwave for about 30 seconds. I found that warm cream cheese was easiest to mix everything together and incorporate the goodies throughout the cheese ball.

Step 2

Toast up your pecans. Place them in a pan over medium-low heat, shaking and stirring them frequently for about 5 – 7 minutes or until they are golden and fragrant.

Step 3

Add 1 cup of toasted pecans, 1 cup of dried cranberries, shredded Gruyere, and 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary to the bowl with the cream cheese.

Step 4

Use a rubber spatula to fold everything together until the ingredients are combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups of pecans and 2 cups of cranberries, and remaining 1 tablespoon rosemary. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Place a little scoop of the pecan/cranberry mixture onto your plate and transfer the cheese ball on top.

Step 7

Use your hands to press the rest of the pecan/cranberry mixture into the ball. If needed, pick the ball up to form it and press the outside goodies onto the outside.

Step 8

Once completely coated with the pecans and cranberries, place the ball back on the center of the plate and serve with your favorite veggies and crackers!
