Tips & Techniques

  • Special Touch

    Make a stunning presentation by sprinkling the cheese ball with chopped fresh parsley. Place cheese spread on a pretty serving platter, and surround it with a variety of crackers so guests can choose what they like. Try one of the cracker variety packs containing several types of crackers in one box.

  • Variation

    Add about 2 teaspoons of a favorite dried herb—basil works especially well—to the cheese mixture for an extra layer of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2/3  cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2/3  cup finely chopped nuts
  • 1  small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
  • 1  tablespoon milk
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4  teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2  packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • Coarsely chopped nuts

Directions

  1. 1Stir together all ingredients except coarsely chopped nuts until well blended. Shape into ball; roll in coarsely chopped nuts.
  2. 2Wrap cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 48 hours. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.

I decided to make my first cheese ball for a Bunco game night with some friends. I chose this recipe because it seemed fairly quick & easy with minimal ingredients. Just as I'd hoped, the cheese ball was so easy to make & was such a hit. There were no leftovers at the end of the night & I got so many requests for the recipe. Will definitely make this again and again!

This was so good! I ended up using Pecan Sticky Bun Granola from Target instead of the nuts because I didn't have nuts available...but it was delicious! The perfect blend of sweet and savory.
