Holiday Cheeseball

Another version of a cheeseball made by a co-worker.   I made it years ago for Christmas at Mom's.

1 8 oz package cream cheese
1 small container cottage cheese
4 oz grated cheddar cheese
small amount blue cheese or gorgonzola to taste (a tsp or more)
1 garlic clove, minced
ground pepper
chopped pecans

Soften cream cheese.  Mix together with grated cheese and 2/3 or more of cottage cheese (should retain semi-firm consistency)  Add small clove of minced garlic or squeeze through presser.  Season with pepper or worchestershire sauce or even tabasco.  Secret ingredient is the small amount of blue cheese-add to taste, but a little goes a long way.

Line a small bowl with plastic wrap, sprinkle pecans over bottom of bowl and spoon cheese mixture on top.  Cover with wrap and refrigerate.

Serving:  remove plastic wrap from top of bowl,  invert onto serving platter and remove plastic.  Serve with crackers
