Everything Bagel Cheese Ball

Ingredients:

  • 16 ounces (2 bricks) cream cheese , softened to room temp

  • 1½ cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • ½ cup everything bagel seasoning , divided

  • Bagel chips , for serving

Preparation:

  1. Place cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and 2 tablespoons of the everything bagel seasoning into a large mixing bowl. Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer, blend on medium speed just until well combined, scraping down the bowl as needed to incorporate.

  2. Transfer the mixture onto a large sheet of plastic wrap. Form the cheese into a ball shape, then wrap it up.

  3. Place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours for the cheese to set up and flavors to meld.

  4. Pour the remaining everything bagel seasoning onto a large flat plate.

  5. Unwrap the cheese and roll it into the seasoning, so it's covered.

  6. Let come to room temp (or softened enough that dipping/scooping will be effortless.)

  7. Serve the cheese ball with the bagel chips and enjoy!
