Cheese balls rolled in pecans

Grate the cheddar into the bowl of a stand mixer or food processor.

Add the cream cheese, hot sauce, scallion greens, Parmesan, kosher salt, black pepper and the lemon zest or juice.

Mix or blitz until relatively smooth but still textured.

With generously oiled hands, divide in half and form into two spheres.

Chop the toasted pecans finely and roll the spheres in them.

Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
