These cheese ball is perfect for parties!  Cream cheese is the base but you spice it up with onion, olives, parsley and ham.  My favorite appetizer!

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: serves 18 1x

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese (I use low-fat)
  • 1 Tb mayonnaise
  • 2 T chopped black olives
  • 2 tsp grated onion
  • 1 Tb chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • ham, nuts, dried fruit, or herbs to roll in – about 1 cup total

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together all the ingredients except for the ham.  If it is hard to mix, allow the cheese to soften to room temperature.
  2. Spread out plastic wrap on the countertop and sprinkle it with the chopped ha, nuts, fruit, or herbs.  Place the cheese mixture in the center of the wrap and roll it around to form a ball and to cover with the ham.  Refrigerate to firm-up the ball.  The flavors are best if the ball has a chance to sit overnight before serving.
