Cheese Spread With Raspberry Jam - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 teaspoons butter, or as needed
1 cup chopped pecans
11 ounces American cheese, shredded
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
8 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
2/3 cup mayonnaise
6 green onions, chopped
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 (8 ounce) jar raspberry preserves

Preparation

Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir pecans in melted butter until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
Mix pecans, American cheese, sharp Cheddar cheese, extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Press cheese mixture into a tart pan or a spring form pan lined with plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator for flavors to blend, at least 2 hours.
Spread raspberry preserves over the cheese mixture and allow to sit at room temperature before serving, about 1 hour.
