MINI DILLY CHEESE BALLS RECIPE

Provided by á-46412

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package (8 ounce ) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 1/2 cups sharp shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped dill pickles ( used mini dill pickles and I chopped )
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley ( I didn't measure used fresh just a little )
assorted crackers and pretzels

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl ( used electric mixer ) combine first 6 ingredients. Shape tablespoonfuls of cheese mixture into balls. Roll in walnuts and parsley. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving. Serve with crackers and pretzels. ( I did not take the time to make individual rolls, I made one large roll and just sprinkled the walnuts and parsley over the top )

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cheese balls will be. Use fresh herbs, flavorful cheese, and high-quality bread crumbs.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cheese balls tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before shaping: Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will help the cheese balls keep their shape when frying.
  • Fry the cheese balls in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan, or the cheese balls will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the cheese balls warm: Cheese balls are best served warm, when the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Dilly mini cheese balls are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple dough of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, and herbs. The dough is then rolled into balls and fried until golden brown. The cheese balls are served warm with a dipping sauce of your choice. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and impressive appetizer that your guests will love.
