Time 1h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 oz cream cheese (half of 8-oz package), softened
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (4 oz)*
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
24 plain mini bagel chips (1 1/4 inch)

Steps:

  • In small bowl, mix cheeses and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper, using fork or back of spoon to mash feta, until well blended. Cover; refrigerate 45 to 60 minutes or until firm enough to shape into balls.
  • In small shallow bowl, mix parsley, basil, rosemary, lemon peel and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Shape cheese mixture into 1-inch balls (about 1 teaspoon cheese mixture for each ball); roll in parsley mixture to coat (some cheese will show through herbs).
  • To serve immediately, place each ball on a bagel chip. To make ahead, do not place cheese balls on bagel chips; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve but no longer than 24 hours. Just before serving, place each ball on a bagel chip.
