The cheese ball is the unsung hero of any gathering — and this one earns its place at the center of the table. Cream cheese, sharp cheddar, and goat cheese come together in a creamy, tangy base, rolled in toasted pecans and finished with a generous coat of Spiceology Pink Peppercorn Lemon Thyme. Set it out with crackers and watch it disappear.
