Ingredients for Holiday Cheese Ball:
- 16 ounces of softened cream cheese
- 2 cups of finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped green onions (or chives).
- 1/4 cup of red bell pepper, chopped finely
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 a teaspoon of powdered garlic
- 1/2 a teaspoon of powdered onion
- 1/4 teaspoon of paprika
- For flavor, add salt and pepper.
- Chopped clean herbs, pretzels, or crushed crackers (for coating)
Instructions for Holiday Cheese Ball:
Combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, Parmesan, red pepper, chopped nuts, chopped onions, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
With your hands or a rubber spatula, form the aggregate into a ball. Transfer the cheese mixture ball onto a plastic wrap sheet. Using the plastic wrap, firmly wrap the cheese ball, forming it into a spherical ball as you go. Chill for a minimum of one to two hours or until solid.
After the cheese ball has solidified and cooled, remove the plastic wrap.
Spread pretzels, chopped clean herbs (parsley, dill, or chives), or beaten crackers on a clean surface or small dish.
Press the cheese ball firmly to cover the entire surface with crushed crackers, pretzels, or herbs. This will add texture and a lovely outer coating to the cheese ball.
Place the lined cheese ball onto a tray or serving plate. Once you’re ready to serve, you can cover and chill it.
Present the Holiday Cheese Ball alongside a selection of dipping crackers, breadsticks, or veggie sticks.
Not only is this Holiday Cheese Ball incredibly tasty, but it also makes a stunning centerpiece for any birthday celebration. Feel free to customize the ingredients by adding unique herbs, spices, or nuts based on your specific preferences. Have fun!
