French Quarter Pecan Cheese Spread Recipe is a unique mix of sweet and savory pecan praline sauce served over dressed up cream cheese.
I first had this unique French Quarter Pecan Cheese Spread Recipe at a girls luncheon. I could not stop eating it. I fact, I ate so much of it I was full for our entree. So it goes most of the time when there are dips and spreads. A cheesy dip is my very favorite munchy!

When I say this is unique, I mean it. It’s an odd combination of cream cheese, brown sugar, Worcestershire, mustard, and pecans. Sounds odd, right? It works. It totally works.
Cream cheese, garlic, and onion make the creamy base. Alternately, you can simply use a block of cream cheese without the additions. It’s just as good.
A basic praline sauce becomes somewhat savory with the addition of mustard and Worcestershire.

I prefer the pecan topping of this French Quarter Pecan Cheese Spread Recipe to be warm. However, it’s good at room temperature. It’s probably even good cold, but there is never any leftover to try it cold!
Serve this spread with your favorite cracker for an easy appetizer. I recommend a plain without added cheese or herb flavors.
- 8 ounce cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon grated white or yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon prepared brown mustard
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
-
Toast pecans on medium until fragrant.
-
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, onion, and garlic.
-
Spoon onto a serving platter into a 6 or 7 inch round disc
-
In a saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. (I used this mustard.)
-
Cook on medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
-
Remove from heat and stir in pecans.
-
Cool slightly before spooning over cream cheese mixture.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite crackers

Is the brown mustard that you use a spicy brown mustard? That’s all I can find.
