Equipment
- plastic wrap
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning divided
- Fresh carrots celery, pretzels, and assorted crackers for serving
Instructions
- Let the cream cheese sit out for about 30 minutes so it softens. This makes mixing much easier and prevents clumps.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, Parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning. I find that a spatula is super helpful with scraping sides and mixing. Combine until smooth and well blended.
- Shape the mixture into a ball. If it feels too soft to hold its shape, it is fine to place the bowl in the fridge for about 15 minutes, then form it into a ball. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to firm up and allow the flavors to develop.
- Just before serving, roll the cheese ball in the remaining 2 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning until evenly coated.
- Keep chilled until ready to serve, then pair with fresh vegetables, pretzels, or strong crackers.
