Preparation

Begin by combining approximately 100 grams of cream cheese, 30 grams of cheddar cheese, and 5 grams of butter in a bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth. Season with garlic powder, salt, and any preferred herbs to taste.

Forming Cheese Balls

Chill the cheese mixture for about 30 minutes, or until it's firm enough to handle. After chilling, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. The size of the balls can vary based on your preference.

Coating

Roll the formed cheese balls into approximately 15 grams of almond flour or crushed nuts, ensuring they're evenly coated on all sides. You may roll them again for a thicker crust if desired.

Refrigeration

Place the coated cheese balls on a tray and refrigerate for at least an hour or until they are firm. This step is crucial for the cheese balls to hold their shape and develop an ideal texture.

Serving

Serve the cheese balls chilled as an appetizer or snack. They're perfect for pairing with crackers, vegetables, or as a standalone treat.
