Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cheese ball
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 tablespoons scallions finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
For the coating
  • 0.33 cup everything bagel seasoning

Method
 

Make the cheese ball
  1. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until evenly combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into a ball.
  3. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until firm.
Coat and serve
  1. Spread the everything bagel seasoning on a plate.
  2. Roll the chilled cheese ball in the seasoning, pressing gently so the seasoning adheres.
  3. Let the cheese ball stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the neatest coating, roll the cheese ball after it has chilled until firm. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese and cheddar.
