The Best Classic Cheeseball
I have made this several times now since finding the recipe. I personally like it better the first day when it still has a strong flavor, but we like a lot of flavor in the South! It was better when I made it with Extra Sharp Cheddar, and I threw in a splash of worcheshire and chives. Also, I shaped it by putting saran wrap on top and forming it into a half cirlcle. It is also easier to eat that way. Soooo Good!!!
Ingredients
- 2 bars (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise in a bowl and beat with a handheld blender until combined and creamy.
- Add in parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Blend together until combined.
- Lay out a piece of plastic wrap (saran wrap) and dump the sliced almonds in the middle. Using the wooden spoon, try to form the cheeseball mixture into some sort of a ball (inside the bowl you mixed it in). Dump the ball on top of the almonds on the plastic wrap.
- Use the plastic wrap to press the almonds into the cheeseball and to form into a better "ball" shape. Put on a plate and let sit in the fridge for 2 hours to firm up and the flavors to come together.
- Serve with your choice of crackers!
