Ingredients
Scale
- 10 oz. Greek cream cheese (or Neufchatel), softened
- 2 oz. soft goat cheese
- 1/2 cup Romesco sauce (recipe here)
- 1/2 cup fine cracker crumbs
- 1 cup finely shredded Italian cheeses
- 1 – 2 teaspoons chopped hot pepper
For rolling:
- extra shredded cheese
- a bit of snipped chives
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, goat cheese, Romesco sauce, cracker crumbs, shredded cheeses and hot peppers. Stir well until everything is nicely mixed together.
- Put in the fridge to cool until the cream cheese has hardened. When you are ready to make the cheeseballs, fill a small bowl with shredded cheeses (mixed with chives and/or nuts if you please).
- Spray your hands with cooking spray and shape spoonfuls of the mixture into balls. Roll in the shredded cheeses and sprinkle with snipped chives and/or parsley.
- Refrigerate in a covered container until close to serving time. Let warm slightly before serving. Enjoy as a little bite or spread on crackers, cucumber slices, or toast.
