Description
This Blue Cheese Cheese Ball Recipe is a quick, no-cook appetizer with easy prep and make-ahead convenience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (using all sharp cheddar, or ¾ cup cheddar + ¼ cup a second cheese)
- ½ cup blue cheese (crumbled)
- ½ cup bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 2 green onions (very finely sliced)
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning (mixed inside)
- ¾ cup toasted pecans (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (for the coating)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar (or cheddar plus another cheese), blue cheese, bacon, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and 2 teaspoons of everything bagel seasoning. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Scoop the mixture onto plastic wrap, gather it up, and shape it into a smooth ball. Wrap tightly and chill for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- On a flat plate, mix the toasted pecans with 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning.
- Unwrap the chilled cheese ball and gently roll it in the pecan mixture, pressing lightly so it adheres evenly.
- Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes so it spreads smoothly but still holds its shape.
