Ingredients :

1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/4 small red bell pepper, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons milk
1/3 cup chopped pistachio nuts

Instructions :

Prep : 30M	Cook : 32M	Ready in : 3H30M

In a small bowl, mix the Cheddar cheese and 1/2 the cream cheese with an electric mixer until well blended. Mix in the green onions, red bell peppers, garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Chill in the refrigerator 30 minutes.
