Cheese Balls
Making a cheese ball is easy, and it's perfect for parties, charcuterie boards, or just a Friday night snack. This version uses Tillamook Chive and Onion Cream Cheese and sharp cheddar for a smooth, flavorful spread.
After blending the cheeses in a food processor, I shape them into half-mounds using a lined ball pan. A quick chill in the freezer helps them firm up. Then, I roll one in fresh chives and the other in crushed roasted pistachios. You can also use almonds or any nuts you like.
These cheese balls are simple to prep ahead, easy to customize, and go great with crackers, veggies, or a glass of wine. Try this out for your next gathering and let me know how you make yours!
