1 (400 g) package shredded mozzarella cheese |
1/4 cup finely crumbled cooked bacon |
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped |
1 pinch italian seasoning |
hot sauce (optional) |
3/4 cup finely ground walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a bowl mix together the cream cheese with mozzarella cheese until well blended.
2. Add in the crumbled bacon, green onion and pinch Italian seasoning; mix to combine.
3. Add in hot sauce to taste (if using).
4. Shape the mixture into 40-50 balls (using about 2-3 teaspoons filling).

6. Place on a plate/s.
