How to Make a Cheese Ball with Blue Cheese

Are you having friends and family over? This cheese ball will make them think you know what good really is. The Blue Cheese really adds to the traditional cheese ball.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 packages cream cheese (8 ounces each)
• ¾ cup blue cheese (crumbled)
• 1 package shredded sharp cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Parsley

1. 
    
   Cream Cheese

   Cheeses should be softened by letting them stand at room temperature until softened. This means take the cheese out of the refrigerator at least an hour before you want to start to prepare the cheese ball. If you forget, don’t worry, just put the cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 60 seconds or so, until soft.

2. 
    
   Mixing the Cheese

   Place cheeses in mixer bowl. Beat together until smooth on medium speed.

3. 
    
   Worcestershire Sauce

   Add onions and Worcestershire sauce and change to low speed until blended. Refrigerate with a cover, plastic wrap is very good, for at least 8 hours or overnight.

4. 
    
   Fresh Parsley

   Form into a large ball or into small bite-sized balls, about twenty. Cover with parsley that has been finely snipped.

5. 
    
   Blue Cheese Balls

   Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Small balls can be served with a toothpick inserted.

Tips & Warnings

• Parsley can be replaced with cilantro for a different flavor.
• Onions can be eliminated or try red onions instead.
