1
Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sharp cheddar cheese, sambal oelek, lemon juice, fresh parsley, and softened cream cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2
Form the Cheese Balls
Using your hands, scoop out a tablespoon of the cheese mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is formed into balls, about 12-15 balls.
3
Chill the Cheese Balls
Place the cheese balls on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

4
Grill the Bread
While the cheese balls are chilling, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the sourdough slices with olive oil on both sides and grill them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

5
Plate and Garnish
Once the cheese balls are firm and the sourdough is grilled, place the cheese balls on a serving platter. Serve with the grilled sourdough slices and garnish with additional chopped parsley.
