8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup almond flour (optional, for rolling)
Mix the Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and well incorporated.
Shape into Balls:
Use your hands to shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Optional Coating:
If you’d like an extra layer of texture, roll each cheese ball in almond flour.
Chill:
Place the prepared cheese balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Serve:
These mini cheese balls are perfect as a low-carb snack or appetizer. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Tips for Customization:
Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Mix in fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
Try rolling in crushed nuts (like pecans or walnuts) instead of almond flour for a crunchy exterior.
Great for Parties: These little cheese balls are easy to make ahead and can be served with low-carb crackers, sliced cucumbers, or bell pepper strips. Enjoy!
