Don't Knock It 'Til You Try It

I tried a rather intriguing recipe over the Easter weekend.  It turned out to be a hit! 

From the Apr/May 2011 Simple & Delicious, here is the recipe for French Quarter Cheese Spread.
1 8oz. pkg cream cheese, softened
1 T grated onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. prepared mustard
1 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted (I used 1/2 cup and there were plenty of pecans for my taste.)

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, onion, and garlic.  Transfer to a serving plate; shape into a 6-inch disk and set aside.
Heat oven to 350.  Place chopped pecans in a shallow pan and bake for 5-10 minutes, stirring once.  Remove from oven.
While the pecans are toasting, combine the butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard in a small saucepan.  Cook and stir over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.  Remove from heat; stir in pecans.
Cool slightly.  Spoon over cheese mixture and serve with crackers.
