Swiss-Nut Cheese Ball image

A friend of mentioned how much she loves Swiss cheese balls, so I went on a search to find a recipe. Here's one from several different recipes I found on the web! My friend just had hip surgery done and I'm looking for ways to surprise her and keep her spirits up. I think this will do it, it's good! :)

Time 15m

Yield 1 24 ounce ball

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (I used a shredded cheddar or mozzarella mix)
8 ounces swiss cheese, shredded
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup finely chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans are good, I haven't tried toasted but I bet that would be good)
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped (optional- you may also use chopped fresh parsley, or fresh thyme)

Steps:

  • Place cheddar, Swiss, and cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, black pepper, and garlic salt in a medium bowl.
  • Place in a food processor and pulse until well blended.
  • In bowl, place nuts and chives, if using. Stir to mix.
  • Shape mixture into a ball, roll in the chopped nuts and chives(if using).
  • Wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time.
  • Serve with raw vegetables or crackers.
