Preparation:
Chop garlic. Add to 1/4 cup of water in a small saucepan. Cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons of liquid.
Beat cheeses together. Add garlic mixture and salt, if desired. In a double layer of cheesecloth, put sage leaves in a decorative pattern in the center. Sprinkle nuts on top. Put cheese mixture on top of nuts. Gather cheesecloth and form a ball. Tie together.
Put the cheeseball in a strainer over a dish and let is in the refrigerator overnight to drain. Unwrap and serve. |
