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