Warm Cheese And Glazed Pecan Dip - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups pecan halves
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    3 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 pinch cayenne pepper
    2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
    8 ounces extra-sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
    1/4 cup heavy cream
    2 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Put pecans, butter, brown sugar, 1 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper into a medium bowl; toss to combine. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until fragrant and sugar has melted, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
    Process cream cheese, cheddar, and cream in food processor until well combined. Transfer to medium bowl. Stir in scallions, remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt, and remaining pinch cayenne pepper.
    Spoon cheese mixture into 2 round baking dishes (6-7\" in diameter and about 1\" deep). Arrange glazed pecans on top. Bake until dip is just heated through, about 10 minutes.
