Personally, nothing does my heart better than cheese and crackers spread out to enjoy. While everyone in my family had their own favorite, it was really difficult for me to choose which one I enjoyed the most. Provided is a recipe for all three individual cheese balls. Make one or all, and enjoy!
The Flight Lineup:
Cranberry Walnut:
This tasty cheese ball is perfect for people who love sharp cheddar, nuts and the tartness of cranberries. Plus, you can change up the cheese with parmesan or add toasted pecans instead of walnuts. Pair with crispy crackers to savor its robust taste!
Garlic Herb:
If you love garlic and herb, this is for you! This smoky, herby and rich cheese ball pairs perfect with crostinis or celery. You can also change up the cheese for parmesan instead of smoked gouda if you prefer something less rich and robust.
Buffalo Dill:
A fan favorite, this scrumptious cheese ball is the perfect balance of spice and herb. It’s perfect to serve with crackers or with celery. It tastes like buffalo dip in a cheese ball!
