Blue Cheese and Toasted Pecan Spread

1 pound of good quality blue cheese, crumbled
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup pecans, toasted and finely chopped
1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley

Place cheese, butter, cream and garlic in food processor and process until smooth. Transfer mixture to serving bowl and fold in pecans, green onions and parsley.

Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. For easier serving, remove from fridge 1 hour before serving. Serve with baguette, crackers, pears, celery or apples.

*Notes: I used a block of blue cheese, not crumble, that worked fine. Also I used a little less butter and heavy cream. Also make sure it has at least an hour out of the fridge before serving, it's very hard when you first take it out of the fridge.
