Cooking Directions

• Remove the stems from the jalapenos and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and rinse thoroughly.
•  
• Drizzle olive oil over the jalapenos and place on a baking sheet. Place jalapenos in the broiler until lightly charred, then mince thoroughly.
•  
• Combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, honey mustard, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper flakes in a bowl. This is a highly adaptable recipe, meaning that ingredients can be added or removed depending on the cook's tastes.
•  
• Add jalapenos, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or by hand.
•  
• Use a wooden paddle or metal spatula to roughly mold the mixture into one mass.
•  
• Cover work surface with one large sheet of plastic wrap. Place cheese mixture onto the sheet of plastic wrap, and cover cheese mixture with wrap completely, firmly patting it into a ball.
•  
• Place cheese ball into the refrigerator for between 3-4 hours, or until cool all the way through.
•  
• Remove from refrigerator, and remove the plastic wrap, setting the ball on a dish. If desired, the ball can be rolled in crushed nuts, crushed crackers or even a thin layer of cracked peppers to enhance the flavor.
•  
• Serve with veggies or seasoned crackers.
