- 2 8-oz. pkgs. shredded extra sharp Cheddar cheese
- 8 ounce pkg. cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounce container chive and onion cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 stalk broccoli, top removed
- Garnish: finely chopped parsley, seeds such as poppy, sesame and fennel
- assorted crackers
Preparation
- Combine all ingredients except broccoli and crackers. Shape mixture to resemble a pumpkin. Trim broccoli stalk, if needed, and press lightly into the top of the pumpkin for a stem. Use a knife to make vertical lines down the sides of the cheese ball. Press seeds into the side of the pumpkin for texture. Serve with crackers.
Note:
Presenting the food is just as much fun as making it! When making your cheese ball pumpkin, set it on a pedestal plate and tuck fall leaves under the plate for an autumnal look.
