When being invited at someone’s house for an evening of fun, I always offer to bring something. Tonight, it’s an all girls night! Since we will be having finger food (and wine), I offered our Host to prepare my famous cheese ball. The answer was instant…. YESSSS!
This recipe is very easy and contains only 6 ingredients, and it is delicious!
In order to make this cheese ball, you will need:
- 1 tub (340g) of Cream cheese
- 2 cups of shredded old cheddar
- 2 green onions, chopped finely
- 3 tbsp of salsa (I used the medium but this is up to you)
- 1 tsp of Cumin
- 1 cup of crushed Nacho Doritos chips
For this evening, I have omitted the Cumin due to someone having allergy in the group. As I mentioned in my blog, The art of entertaining, it is important to pay close attention to such details.
Take the first 5 ingredients and mix well together. Put this mixture in between plastic wrap, form a ball and forget it in the fridge for a couple of hours (minimum).
While you are waiting, get your hands working by crushing the Doritos. To prevent making a mess, I use a large freezer storage bag to help crush.
This overall preparation took no longer than 15 minutes. You have enough time to tend to other chores or to simply relax before getting ready.
Before you leave, roll your cheese ball in the crushed Doritos. Place in the middle of a plate, surround ball with your choice of crackers, corn chips or baguette.
This cheese ball is a success every time I make it. One of the fun things with this cheese ball is the fact that you can change the salsa to give it a more softer taste or you can give it some ZING! You can also choose different types of Doritos.
Try it, you won’t regret it!
Enjoy your evening everyone, I know I will…
