Steps:

• Toast pecans in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and slightly browned. Remove pecans from skillet to cool. Set aside a few tablespoons to garnish the cheese ring before serving if desired.
• Shred cheese then add to a large mixing bowl. Add grated onion, mayo, cayenne pepper and toasted pecans then mix until thoroughly incorporated.
• Spoon cheese mixture onto a serving plate then shape into a ring. This isn't as hard as it sounds - I easily shape mine using a rubber spatula. Cover with plastic wrap then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
