For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a touch of garlic powder or onion powder to the cheese mixture. Toast the chopped pecans lightly before coating the cheese ball for a richer, nuttier taste. Serve with a variety of crackers, such as baguette slices, pita chips, and whole-wheat crackers, to complement the cheese ball's flavors and textures.
