Ingredients:
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions:
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, milk, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, crumbled blue cheese, and minced garlic. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
-
Divide Mixture: Divide the cheese mixture in half. Place each half on a separate sheet of plastic wrap.
-
Shape Cheese Balls: Gather the sides of the plastic wrap tightly around each portion of the cheese mixture, forming them into balls. Secure the plastic wrap firmly using a twist tie or rubber band, ensuring that the balls are tightly wrapped.
-
Chill: Refrigerate the wrapped cheese balls for at least 6-8 hours, or until they are firm. Chilling is essential to allow the flavors to meld together and for the cheese ball to set properly.
-
Coat with Nuts: Before serving, remove the plastic wrap from the chilled cheese balls. Roll each cheese ball in chopped nuts for a crunchy coating. Alternatively, if someone has a nut allergy, you can roll the cheese balls in chopped parsley for a fresh and vibrant finish.
-
Serve: Arrange the cheese balls on a serving platter alongside an assortment of crackers, bagel chips, or vegetable sticks. Watch as your guests dive in eagerly to enjoy this delicious appetizer!
