When cream cheese and the happy hostess met, a magical cocktail party food — the cheese ball — was born. Creamy, dreamy, and cheesy, this centerpiece of a cheese tray or standalone snack with crackers was the elegant update on dips. The combination of the mildness of cream cheese and the sharpness of the grated cheddar, all amped up with a dash of Dijon and a splash of Worcestershire, made it oh-so-inviting.
Now it’s your turn. The cheese ball may be retro, but there’s a reason that cheese balls have a hallowed place in the hor d’oeuvre hall of fame. Here’s how to master the art of the cheese ball and make it your very own.
