Easy Cheese Ball Recipe With The Little Man

Today I want to share with you a recipe that my little man personally requested that I  make. Cheese ball! We found this really easy cheese ball recipe while browsing the internet and wanted to try it.

Easy Cheese Ball Recipe

Funny story, I had no idea what cheese balls were until the other day when my 6 years old son asked me to make some for him. I assumed he meant cheese puffs or as he would call them,  the “orange chips.”

After he had glared at me for not knowing what cheese balls were, he asked that I “Google” it so that I know how to make it. Yes, folks, my 6 years old son told me to “Google it”!

Not sure why I’m surprised. Whenever I answer one of his random questions with “I don’t know,” he tells me to “look it up!” Kids…right?!

Ok! Back to our recipe.

We found a video on YouTube that showed us how to make these famous “cheese balls.” It was the first video that came up on the search engine for us. When I’m making something for the first time, I like to watch a video on how to or look for recipes that have a LOT of pictures.

Lucky for me, this cheese balls recipe was easy to make, AND I had all the ingredients. First I will link the video (HERE) to where I got this recipe from and then I will share with you what I did differently.

Ingredients

  • Your choice of cheeses
  • cream cheese
  • Crescent Rolls (or pizza dough)
  • salt and pepper for taste
  • Olive oil
  • Chopped Fresh Herbs
  • minced garlic

Cheese Ball Recipe

What we did:

We use 3 kinds of shredded cheeses for our cheese balls. We had a block of cheese in the fridge with no label, and I mistook it for mozzarella, but it was Swiss cheese (bot a big fan of Swiss cheese).  We added mozzarella and marble cheese. The cream cheese was use for holding the other cheeses together. We also ended up using a cake pop mold (that goes in the oven) since we don’t have a cake pop maker (yet).

Since the little man was helping me cook, I skipped the minced garlic and used Italian seasoning instead of fresh herbs (we didn’t have any). I won’t go into many details since I’ve already linked the video on how to make this yummy goodness!

The result? De-LICIOUS!

I was really happy with how good these turned out. Even happier that the little man loved them.Will be stocking up on crescent rolls so that I can wipe some up again soon.

The best part was having the little guy helping me out! I think he enjoyed the fact that it was his idea and that it came out well. Hope you enjoyed this easy cheese ball recipe!

    I’m not clear on how you incorporated the crescent rolls. This sounds absolutely delicious! I’m going to have to make this during a holiday when I go off my intermittent fasting… The BabyCakes electric griddle is what I use and it’s awesome! I recommend. Your little man looks irresistible! =)

      Hey Meredith, the crescent rolls is what is use to wrap the cheeses in, roll them into balls and bake them to perfection! I posted a link that has a video on how it is done! Let me know if you ever get to try these =)

    I used to make an appetizer called “Cheese Ball” that was basically a number of cheeses all mixed together and rolled into a ball that would then be coated with chopped nuts or herbs, and then spread on crackers. This version sounds really good!

    These sound so good. I love his “googe it”. I swear these kids. Mines answer to everything is to youtube it. I have to give it to the kids, they are usually right.

    I think we are going to have to try this for snack next week.

    I love the line “Google it” by your little one. How funny! These actually look yummy and I am always thinking ahead of things I can make during football season for the football crowd. These would be great.

  27. Stephanie Clopton says

    Wow! Super impressed that a 6 year old knew about these. They look fabulous!

    I had no idea what cheese balls were until I read this. I never would have guessed they were made like this. The only cheese balls I’ve ever heard of are the puffed snack balls by that name.

    How cute that he told you to Google it! Those look delicious, and I love that they’re easy to make. Cheese is one of my favorite foods.

  44. Rosey says

    I’ve never heard of them either, but LOL that your son is the one who turned you on to the recipe with a Google request. 🙂

    We’d try this, I bet the kids would love them too.
