Easter Egg Cheese Ball

Ingredients:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp hot sauce
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped

 

Directions:

Place cream cheese in a mixing bowl and whip until smooth. Add cheese, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, oregano and pepper and mix to combine.

Use a rubber spatula to scrape the mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap and use the wrap to help form the mixture into the shape of an egg.

Use a skewer or toothpicks to draw chevrons on the egg then carefully press on the walnuts, cranberries and parsley in alternating rows, leaving blank spaces in between.

Cover the cheeseball in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serve with crackers.
