Everything But the Bagel Cheese Ball
I made this Everything Bagel Pumpkin Shaped Cheese Ball from @inspiredbycharm last weekend and it was seriously so easy + so yummy. Perfect for last minute party people throughout the holiday season. Shape it into a pumpkin for Turkey Day or just keep it round for any party!
YOU’LL NEED:
1 8oz package of light cream cheese
1/2 cup light sour cream
2 tbsp ginger (or horseradish)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 scallions, chopped
6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1/2 cup everything but the bagel seasoning blend
HOW TO:
1. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, ginger, cheddar cheese, scallions, and bacon. Form the mixture into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill for an hour.
2. Once the cheeseball has set, roll it into the EBTB seasoning blend to evenly coat.
3. To make your cheeseball resemble a pumpkin, add a real or faux pumpkin stem to the top. Then use the tip of a chopstick or the back of a butter knife to create grooves.
Serve with crackers or crudités! And whatever you do, don’t skip Thanksgiving.
