- Creating Easy Cheese Balls Party Snack is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to get delicious results:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if you plan to bake the cheese balls.
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese until well combined.
- Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed.
- Using your hands, take small portions of the cheese mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Roll each cheese ball in breadcrumbs to coat evenly. For an extra layer of flavor, you can mix some herbs into the breadcrumbs.
- If baking, place the cheese balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If frying, heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush the cheese balls with beaten egg for a golden finish if baking.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. If frying, cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden, then drain on paper towels.
- Allow the cheese balls to cool for a few minutes before serving; they will be very hot inside!
