Combine all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Stir until fully incorporated. Set aside.
Place a piece of plastic wrap into a large bowl. Transfer the cheese mixture into the wrap and bowl, using the wrap to help form into a ball.
Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until ready to serve.
Spicy Kick: Add diced jalapeños, crushed red pepper flakes, or a dash of hot sauce for a cheese ball with some heat!
Herb Lover’s Delight: Toss in fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives to give your cheese ball a bright, fresh flavor.
Nutty Coating: Try rolling your cheese ball in chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds for a deliciously crunchy outer layer.
Sweet and Savory: Mix in dried cranberries or apricots for a surprising pop of sweetness that pairs perfectly with the savory cheese.
Mexican-Inspired: Swap in taco seasoning, pepper jack cheese, and a sprinkle of cilantro for a cheese ball with south-of-the-border vibes.
