Directions
Combin the cream cheese and bagel seasoning in a bowl. Once they’re mixed well, add in the shredded Cheddar and give everything a good stir until it’s all evenly combined. Grab the mixture and shape it into a ball—using your hands or a spoon, whichever feels easier. Next, spread out the chopped pecans on a plate and roll the cheese ball around until it’s fully coated. Wrap it up and pop it in the fridge for about an hour to let it firm up before serving.
Simple Serving Suggestions
Serve with a variety of crackers, toasted bagel chips, or fresh vegetable sticks. It also pairs nicely with sliced cucumbers or radishes for a lighter option. This cheese ball makes a great centerpiece for any snack table.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Wrap the cheese ball tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
