Fort Scott Biz

From Linderhof’s Kitchen . . .By Martha Meinsen Scott

 

It seems that this time of year there are a lot of “come and bring” parties.    The trick of lining a small bundt pan with Saran to form your “cheeseball” works with other recipes — as long as you use two 8 ounce packages of cream cheese.      This recipe is festive for this time of year, but good at any time — just form it into a ball if it is not December!

 

HOLIDAY CHEESE BALL

 

16 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 ounces Cheddar, shredded
2 t. Worcestershire sauce
½ c. pickled Peppadew peppers*
Salt and pepper to taste
½ c. freshly chopped parsley
¼ c. freshly chopped chives

 

Line small bundt pan with Saran Wrap.     Mix cheeses, add Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.    Fold in all but 2 T. of the peppers. Pat into lined mold and refrigerate at least overnight.        Next day unmold and pat parsley and chives around the outside. Use the reserved 2 T. of peppers to decorate the top of “wreath”.

 

*If you can’t find Peppadews, plain old pimentos would work well.
