The caraway seeds add a nutty, rustic flavor that complements the sharp tang of the cheddar. My mother always made this for family Christmas parties, and it remains my all-time favorite recipe for cheese balls. Ingredients:
3/4 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons dry sherry |
1 teaspoon caraway seeds |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 pound shredded cheddar cheese |
3 tablespoons caraway seeds, for rolling |
Directions:
1. Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until fluffy and soft. Stir in the mustard, sherry, and 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds, mixing thoroughly. Beat in the Cheddar cheese and vegetable oil. Shape mixture into a ball and roll in the remaining 3 tablespoons of caraway seeds. Wrap coated ball in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours.
