Ingredients

The following ingredients have 14 Servings
  • 8-ounce brick cream cheese
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese ((Note 1))
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter ((Note 2))
  • 1/3 cup store-bought or homemade everything bagel seasoning

Instruction

  • Soften Ingredients: Add cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and butter to bowl fitted to electric mixer (Note 5). Let stand for 30 minutes to soften at room temperature.
  • Beat Mixture: Using electric mixer fitted with flat beater, beat for 1 minute on medium speed, then pause to scrape down beater and bowl. Continue beating on medium speed until mixture is light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Initially, mixture will combine into dense dough, then become airier, spreading out and clinging to sides of bowl.
  • Form Into Balls: Use cookie scoop (Note 6) to form 1.5-inch diameter ball. Roll ball or sprinkle with seasoning mix until covered all around, then place on sheet pan. Repeat until mixture is used up, yielding about 14 balls.
  • Chill & Serve: Transfer sheet pan to refrigerator and chill for 1 hour (Note 7). Transfer chilled cheese balls to serving plates and serve cold (Notes 8-9).
