Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, and dill)

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup finely chopped mixed nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

Fresh vegetable sticks (carrots, celery, cucumber) for serving

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled feta cheese.

Add the chopped fresh herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper to the cheese mixture.

Use an electric mixer or a sturdy spatula to mix everything until well combined and smooth.

Form the mixture into a ball shape and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.

Once chilled, remove the cheese ball from the wrap and roll it in the chopped mixed nuts, ensuring it's evenly coated on all sides.

Transfer the cheese ball to a serving plate and drizzle with a little olive oil for added richness, if desired.

Serve with fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
