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.
