How to Make Gorgonzola And Cream Cheese Balls
- In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 4 ounces of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs to your preference.
- Cover the bowl and chill the cheese mixture in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Once chilled, roll the cheese mixture into 3/4-inch balls.
- Place chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts - about 1/2 cup) in a shallow dish. Gently roll each cheese ball in the nuts until completely coated.
- Arrange the coated cheese balls in a single layer on a baking sheet or serving platter.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days, to allow the nuts to adhere and the flavors to deepen.
- To serve, arrange the cheese balls attractively on a serving platter.
- Just before serving, insert a single pretzel stick into each cheese ball.
- Garnish with fresh watercress sprigs for an elegant touch.
