My Mother-in-Law, Doris, has been making this Honey-Scallion Cheese Log to bring to parties for years
It was almost expected that she would show up with this delicious (and oh-so-highly-requested) appetizer
It’s one of those recipes that you try and can’t imagine how 4 ingredients can taste this good!
We thought it fitting that she should make this Honey-Scallion Cheese log to share with you all!
The most important ingredient is the wheat germ
Not just ANY wheat germ, it has to be Honey Crunch. Believe me, Doris wouldn’t have made this if I didn’t buy the correct wheat germ
And she’s right, of course, it adds a delicious sweetness and crunch to the cheese log
Measure out about a cup of honey crunch wheat germ, 1/2 cup of honey, 4 scallions and 2 packages of cream cheese
Let the cream cheese sit out for an hour or so until it reaches room temperature. Cut the green part of each scallion into thin slices
In a large mixing bowl, add in the 1/2 cup of honey and the scallions
Mix until all of the ingredients are incorporated and form into a ball. Chill for about 30 minutes to make it easier to form into a log
Now prep a sheet pan by lining with plastic wrap and add about 1/2 of the wheat germ
(did I mention it should be Honey Crunch?)
Plop your chilled cheese mixture onto the pan and roughly form into the shape of a log
It doesn’t matter if it’s misshapen at this point, you’ll fix it up in a minute
Top with more of the wheat germ and pull the plastic wrap up and over the log
Make sure the log is completely covered (every inch of it!) with the wheat germ, and now you can shape into a perfect log shape
Doris likes it to flatten it out a little so there’s more surface area
Nice! Now wrap up in the plastic and chill for about an hour so the flavors meld and the log firms up a bit
Presented by Doris herself! Invite the Honey-Scallion Cheese Log to your next party!
Serve with your favorite crackers
Enjoy!
