Ingredients

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground mustard
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
1/2 cup crumbled Stilton cheese
1/2 cup chopped drained roasted red bell peppers (from 7-oz jar)
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
1 large apple, sliced
Assorted crackers

Steps

1

In large bowl, stir cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce and mustard until blended. Stir in Cheddar and Stilton cheeses, bell peppers and chives.
2

Divide cheese mixture in half. Shape each half into a log. Roll logs in walnuts. Wrap each log separately in plastic wrap or waxed paper. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
3

Place cheese logs on serving platter. Serve with apple slices and crackers.

Stilton is a pungent English blue cheese. Another blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola or American blue cheese, could be substituted.
Chives lose their flavor when dried, so try to use fresh chives.
