Step 4: Chill for Stability
- Place the formed cheese balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Chilling helps the balls hold their shape when serving.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
- Once chilled, transfer the mini cheese balls to a serving platter.
- Garnish with reserved bacon pieces and a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color.
- Serve as is, or pair with low-carb crackers, celery sticks, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips for Perfect Cheese Balls
- Adjust the cheese ratio: If you prefer a firmer ball, increase cheddar slightly.
- Make them ahead: These cheese balls can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
- Experiment with flavors: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, onion powder, or even shredded pepper jack for a spicy twist.
- Keep them bite-sized: Mini cheese balls are ideal because they’re easier to serve and eat at gatherings.
