Originally, I planned to make a Cheese Ball Turkey.
But the cheese ball looked so cute after shingling it with sliced almonds, I stopped at hedgehog.

Two peppercorns make the eyes.
Lots of crackers make for scooping.

Ingredients
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese cut into several chunks
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

1/2 cup sliced almonds

Directions
Mix all ingredients up to shaved almonds in a food processor until fully blended.
Scoop blended cheese mixture into a bowl.
Get hands slightly damp and pat the cheese mixture into the shape of a ball.
“Shingle” the shaved almonds over each other in rows. I sifted through the bag to find the most even shaped sliced almonds, but all that rustic is rather charming.

Charming like a hedgehog made of cheese.

Set the cheese ball in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to firm up.
Press peppercorns in the front for eyes.

And enjoy.
