EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Sliced apples make a fun addition to this appetizer. Toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Cheese balls can be stored tightly covered in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks or in freezer up to 4 weeks. Thaw frozen cheese balls in the refrigerator about 6 hours before serving.

I make this cheese all the time and it is always a hit. Soo easy to make. It makes two cheese balls so if I make one for a party, I still have one for at home. Love it!
