Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded Cheddar cheese, blue cheese, melted butter, finely chopped black olives, finely chopped green onions, garlic salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly until well combined. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle. (30 minutes)

03

Step

Once chilled, divide the mixture into two equal portions. With slightly damp hands, gently form each portion into a ball. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Spread the chopped walnuts evenly on a plate or shallow dish. Roll each cheese ball in the walnuts, pressing gently to ensure they adhere to the surface, coating the entire ball. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Wrap the cheese balls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least another 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the walnuts to set. (30 minutes)

06

Step

Serve chilled with your favorite crackers, sliced baguette, or crudités.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts for the coating, such as pecans, almonds, or pistachios.
If you prefer a smoother cheese ball, use an electric mixer to combine the ingredients.
