Pine Cone Cheese Ball

Here is a great snack to bring to any holiday event. I always bring this because it is a tremendous success. I hope you have a wonderful season. People will eat it up.

1    8oz Cream Cheese, softened
2    Green onions, diced

1/2  Cup sharp or medium cheddar cheese, grated

Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary and cover the ball with roasted almonds

Thoroughly mix them together in a bowl and make them into a ball.

Place the ball in the center of a serving platter. Shape the cheese ball into an elongated ball.
layer almonds on the surface to resemble a pine cone.
Add a sprig of rosemary to add greenery to the dish.

Lay crackers out along the rim of the platter.

Options:
Favorite, sprinkle with light paprika, sliced almonds, or sesame seeds. If you would rather not make it look like a pine cone; your choice.

Add a small serving knife and look out.

I never bring home leftovers. It disappears.

Tip. Make ahead so the flavors marry before the party.
