Smokey Holiday Cheeseball
Smokey Holiday Cheeseball
Cheeseballs are back in a big way, and this smokey-sweet number will be the centerpiece of your holiday appetizer spread
There’s no two ways about it, this is one really delicious way to enjoy cheese. Forget the pre-formed and shrink wrapped cheeseballs from the grocery store, this is an entirely different experience. The Rogue Creamery Smokey Blue tricks you into thinking this beauty has bacon in it, but it’s just the power of the cheese (and allows this appetizer to be totally vegetarian too). To match the smokeyness, there is some sweetness from Preserved Pumpkin and toasty nuttiness from the pepitas. Put this on your table and watch your guests ooh and ahh before completely devouring it.
