Servings: persons

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon truffle salt or sea salt
1 red bell pepper
1 pound sharp white Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons grated red onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 small to medium jalapeno chiles, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Several dashes of your favorite hot sauce (optional)
Assorted crackers or crudites

1
Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium. Add pecans and salt, and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to cool.
2
Place bell pepper directly on a stovetop burner set on medium to char the skin. Turn pepper with tongs until most of the skin is roasted and blackened with a little steam starting to be released from pepper. Remove from heat, and place in a zip-top plastic freezer bag. Seal and let stand until pepper is cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and finely chop red pepper.
3
Stir together cheese, chopped red pepper, onion, garlic, jalapenos, and pecans in a medium bowl until well combined.
4
Fold in mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and, if desired, hot sauce. Stir until well combined. Refrigerate 2 to 12 hours to let the flavors marry. Remove from refrigerator 15 minutes before serving for cheese to be perfectly spreadable. Serve with crackers or crudites.
