Receta Nana's Garlic Herb Cheese ball
When I was a kid my Nana would make this each year to go on
the Christmas Eve table for our family Christmas Eve party. This was my
favorite cheese ball. In my head I can still see the plate that my Nana would
put it on it was shaped like a green holly leaf with an elf’s face on the side.
It was a ceramic plate that my Nana made herself.
This Christmas my aunt made it for the very first time in
probably 20 years. I can’t even believe I just wrote 20 years. That was the last
Christmas my Nana was alive. This cheese ball is my favorite one. I love it
because of all the spices they meld so well together and the is just
perfect for anything. It would be great on crackers, bagels, or just about
anything.
