Easy Cheese Balls Party Snack: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Oil for frying (optional)

Instructions

  1. Creating Easy Cheese Balls Party Snack is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to get delicious results:
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if you plan to bake the cheese balls.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese until well combined.
  4. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed.
  5. Using your hands, take small portions of the cheese mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  6. Roll each cheese ball in breadcrumbs to coat evenly. For an extra layer of flavor, you can mix some herbs into the breadcrumbs.
  7. 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).
  8. Brush the cheese balls with beaten egg for a golden finish if baking.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. If frying, cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden, then drain on paper towels.
  10. Allow the cheese balls to cool for a few minutes before serving; they will be very hot inside!
