BACON-BLEU CHEESE BALL



Bacon-Bleu Cheese Ball image

A zesty bleu-cheese, bacon, and onion cheese ball. Best served with multi-grain crackers. The recipe I reworked for this cheese ball called for 1 pound of bacon fried, drained, and crumbled. I didn't have time for all that, so used the bacon bits and found them at least as good and less mess. Make sure your cream cheese is really soft, or else it is a little hard to mix well. Bon Appetit!

This is a great way to serve your cheese ball during November and December holiday. Especially, because you can make the cheese ball the day before and garnish it just before serving, next day. I saw this idea on-line and thought it would be a great way to serve my Blue Cheese Ball. You can do this with any of your own cheese...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pkg 3 oz. each cream cheese, softened (9 oz. total)
4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
2 Tbsp bourbon or wine or fruit juice
3/4 tsp dry mustard
garnish crispy bacon bits, toasted sesame seeds or nuts
garnish crackers and pretzels

Steps:

  • 1. Place the cream cheese and bleu cheese in mixer bowl and beat until soft. Add the bourbon and mustard. Blend well. Shape into a ball. Roll lightly and evenly in the bacon bits or sesame seeds or nuts or a combination of all. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate overnight.
  • 2. This is a great cheese ball weather you decorate it or not- great for a summer BBQ without the turkey deco!

Tips:

  • Soften cream cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so it blends easily and creates a smooth texture.
  • Use high-quality blue cheese: The flavor of the blue cheese will be the star of the show, so choose a high-quality variety that you enjoy. A sharp, flavorful blue cheese will give the ball the best taste.
  • Don't overwork the mixture: Overworking the mixture can make the ball tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are well combined.
  • Chill the ball before serving: Chilling the ball for at least 30 minutes will help it firm up and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve with crackers or bread: Bleu cheese ball is typically served with crackers or bread. Choose your favorite type of crackers or bread, or try something new.
