A great combination. I actually got this recipe from a great aunt. You could always roll it in your choice of chopped nuts if you don't like parsley. I myself am a huge parsley fan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cream cheese: Use full-fat cream cheese for a rich and creamy cheese ball. Softened cream cheese is easier to mix and spread.
  • Roast the red peppers yourself: Roasting red peppers brings out their natural sweetness and smoky flavor. If you don't have time, you can use jarred roasted red peppers, but the flavor won't be as intense.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Adding different types of cheese to your cheese ball will give it a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of your cheese ball. Try adding some garlic powder, onion powder, or dried oregano.
  • Chill the cheese ball before serving: Chilling the cheese ball for at least 30 minutes before serving will help it to set and firm up.
