Another recipe the I have has around for many years but have not made for a very long time! This Classic Cheese Ball is mild in flavour and perfect for any cracker or flatbread!
Many years ago I sold a product called Linens & Lace at home parties. At one of the parties, I do not remember who the hostess was, this Classic Cheese Ball was served to the guests. I remember really liking it, so I was given the recipe! I thank whomever that hostess was!
So simple to make yet very impressive on a serving dish. Circle some crackers 3/4 way around the Classic Cheese Ball, have a nice serving knife & everyone will be impressed!
This is made in a food processor but you can use a mixer or mix this by hand if you want. To make it by hand, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature!
Ingredients
2 8oz ( 250g ) cream cheese
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried onion flakes
1 tsp lemon juice
1/8 – 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup of finely chopped walnuts *** if you are going to use your food processor to chop the walnuts, do this before you mix the cheese. Just empty the chopped nuts into a bowl, then wipe the bowl out before mixing the cheese *** if you can not have nuts you can sprinkle the ball with some dried parsley or dill… if you like those herbs or leave it plain !!!
