Ingredients

Scale

Creamy Base

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded

Flavor Enhancers

  • 1/2 cup Pimentos, diced
  • 2 Green Onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Optional Coating

  • 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans or Walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, diced pimentos, sliced green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  2. Form the Cheese Balls: Using your hands, scoop small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, aiming for about one inch in diameter for perfect snacking.
  3. Coat the Cheese Balls: If desired, roll the cheese balls in chopped pecans or walnuts to add a crunchy exterior. This step is optional but adds texture and flavor.
  4. Chill: Place the cheese balls on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. This helps the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Chill Time: Don’t skip the chilling step; it enhances flavor and texture.
  • Taste as You Go: Adjust the seasoning according to your preference for a personalized flavor.
  • Make a Big Batch: These Mini Pimento Cheese Balls freeze well, so consider making extra for future snacking.
  • Presentation Matters: Serve with colorful toothpicks or on a rustic wooden board for an appealing display.
