BLUE CHEESE CHEESE LOG
One of the best things about cheese it that it can easily be molded into log form -- and foods shaped like logs always mean that you're in for a good time. This version balances the nuttiness of Swiss and the pungency of blue with sweet dates and smoky bacon. If logs aren't your thing, you can always roll this into a ball; if you're absolutely no fun whatsoever, just serve it in a dip bowl.

Steps:
- Cut the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a cold skillet with 1/2 cup water. Turn the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water has evaporated and the bacon bits are crispy. Pour the contents of the skillet into a bowl, reserving 2 tablespoons bacon grease in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to cool completely.
- Combine the cream cheese, blue cheese, Swiss cheese, chopped dates, port wine and onions in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
- Lay two 18-inch pieces of plastic wrap side by side on the counter, overlapping by about 1 inch. Use a rubber spatula to scoop the cheese mixture into the center. Wet your hands slightly and shape into a rough log, then wrap firmly in plastic and roll a bit to firm up the shape. Twist the ends tightly closed and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, return the bacon and grease to the skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pecans and cook, stirring, until they become fragrant, then stir in a pinch of salt and remove from heat. Let cool completely.
- Transfer the bacon/pecan mixture to a plate. Unwrap the cheese log and roll it in the bacon/pecan mixture to coat, pressing well to make the coating stick. Serve with crackers and mini toasts.

Steps:
- Put the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the garlic and white pepper and mix until well combined. Divide the mixture into 3 even portions; return one portion to the mixer.
- For the pizza cheese log: Add the pizza blend cheese to the cream cheese mixture and mix well until combined. Remove to a work surface and roll into a log with your palms. (The mixture should be slightly sticky but thick enough to easily roll.) Put the smoked paprika on a shallow dish; roll the log in the paprika until completely coated. Roll the cheese log in a sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Clean the mixer bowl and paddle.
- For the Cheddar Jack and parsley cheese log: Put a second portion of the cream cheese mixture in the mixer bowl. Add the Cheddar Jack cheese and mix well. Remove to a work surface and roll into a log with your palms. Put the dried parsley on a shallow dish and roll the cheese log in the parsley until completely coated. Roll the cheese log in a sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Clean the mixer bowl and paddle.
- For the sharp Cheddar pecan cheese log: Put the last portion of the cream cheese mixture in the mixer bowl and add the extra-sharp Cheddar. Mix well. Remove to a work surface and roll into a log with your palms. Place the whole pecans down the length of the cheese log. Put the chopped pecans on a shallow dish, then roll the log in the pecans. Use your fingers to press the pecans more firmly into the cheese. Roll the cheese log in a sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Unwrap the cheese logs and present on a large platter surrounded by plenty of crackers and cheese knives for easy self-service.

- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and Stilton together for 1 minute, or until smooth.

Spread the walnuts in a square on a cutting board and roll the log back and forth in the walnuts, pressing lightly, and distributing them evenly on the outside of the log. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or for up to 4 days.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the log 3/8ths-inch thick with a small, sharp knife and place the crackers on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 22 minutes until very lightly browned. Rotate the pan once during baking. Cool and serve at room temperature.
