Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning divided (1 tbsp for mix, 2 tbsp for coating)
  • fresh carrots, celery, pretzels, and assorted crackers for serving

Instructions

  • Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature about 30 minutes until softened for easier mixing.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the everything bagel seasoning.
  • Mix thoroughly with a spatula until the cheeses and seasonings are smooth and evenly blended.
  • Shape the mixture into a ball by hand. If it is too soft to hold its shape, chill the bowl in the refrigerator about 15 minutes, then form into a ball.
  • Wrap the cheese ball tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight to firm up and develop flavor.
  • Just before serving, unwrap and roll the chilled cheese ball in the remaining 2 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning until evenly coated.
  • Keep chilled until ready to serve and present with fresh carrots, celery, pretzels, and assorted crackers.

Notes
