directions
For the Cheese Ball: Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set aside.
Mix together the cream cheese, goat cheese, roasted vegetables, cranberries and pomegranate seeds. Season with salt and pepper. Using a teaspoon, scoop cheese mixture into 1/2-inch balls and form the balls around the bottom of the pretzel sticks. Place on the prepared sheet tray.
To Toast the Pecans: In a small saute pan over medium-low heat, add the pecans and butter stirring, as the butter melts. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until nuts are golden brown and toasted, about 5 minutes.
To Assemble: Dip the bottom of each cheese ball lightly in the chopped nuts. Repeat with the rest of the cheese balls. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
