Cheese Ball coated in crushed Ritz Recipe

American · Appetizer · 15 min total

A classic party appetizer, this creamy cheese ball is rolled in crushed Ritz crackers for a buttery, salty crunch. Perfect for holidays or game day.

Ingredients

• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 1/2 cups crushed Ritz crackers (about 30 crackers)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne (if using). Mix until well blended.
2. Shape mixture into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) to firm.
3. Place crushed Ritz crackers on a plate. Roll the chilled cheese ball in the crumbs, pressing gently to coat evenly.
4. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with additional crackers, pretzels, or vegetable sticks.

Tips

• For best flavor, let the cheese ball sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
• To crush Ritz crackers, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
• Can be made up to 2 days ahead; coat with crumbs just before serving.
• Add 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon for extra flavor.
