How long does a cheese ball keep in the fridge?

A cheese ball will keep in the fridge for about 4 days. Cheese balls freeze perfectly when wrapped in plastic wrap then wrapped in tin foil.

What to serve with a cheese ball?

A light buttery cracker is classic to highlight the strong cheese flavour of the cheese ball, though you can also serve it with mini bagels or mini Melba toast type crackers. A side of meat slices and crackers also go well with a cheese ball.

Making these Cheese Ball Bites is an easy and quick recipe that you can throw together in a snap to wow your party guests or family. Throw the ingredients in a bowl and mix it together – It doesn't get any easier!

• ▢ 1/2 lb Grated Old Cheddar Cheese About 220 grams cheese

• ▢ 1/2 can 1/2 of a 240g can of ham flakes (All moisture well squeezed out)
• ▢ 1/8 cup finely chopped green onion
• ▢ 1 tsp mustard
• ▢ 1/4 tsp celery seed
• ▢ 1/4 tsp salt
• ▢ 1/2 cup crushed pecans (optional)
• ▢ 6-7 pcs cooked crispy bacon (optional)

Instructions

 

• Add all ingredients except the bacon or pecans in a mixing bowl.
  
• Mix the ingredients together until well combined.
  
• Use a tablespoon size scoop and roll into balls. Set aside.
  
• When all are rolled into balls, roll them in the bacon or nuts and press into the cheese to get it to stick easier.
  
• This cheese ball recipe is the most flavorful if prepared and left overnight in the fridge and eaten the next day.
  
• Tip: If rolling in any type of nut - Roll the Cheese Ball Bites in the nuts 1 hour before serving. If you roll them and let them sit too long, the nuts go soft.
