Pimento Cheese Balls

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the Cheese Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, diced pimentos, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and a smooth mixture forms.

  2. 2

    Form the Balls

    With your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If desired, roll the balls in chopped pecans to coat.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Place the cheese balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the chilled pimento cheese balls with spicy pepper jelly on the side for dipping.
