Greek-Style Cheese Ball image

I just wasn't satisfied with the ingredients in other cheese ball recipes. So, I made my own and took it to a Christmas party, where it was enjoyed by all. You can also experiment with other Greek-themed ingredient options such as sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata or green olives, pepperoncini, etc. Surround cheese balls with your favorite crackers. For a true 'Greek' theme, try toasted pita chips.

This cheese ball was a complete disaster. It fell apart when I tried to roll it in the nuts.

This cheese ball was way too hard. I think I overmixed it. I'll be sure to mix it less next time.

I found this cheese ball to be a little bland. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This cheese ball was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less feta cheese next time.
