The Best Cheese Roll Recipe

This cheese roll recipe makes a delicious appetizer and it is so easy to make. I love all things cheese. I will just admit that now. Do you love cheese? Crave a traditional cheese ball? You will love this fun twist on that classic. Grab your cheese and make one just for a snack this week. You will be so glad that you did!

Cheese Roll Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup chopped parsley
• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 2 cloves garlic (pasted)
• 1/2 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Start by lining a small dish with plastic wrap. Lay your parsley in the bottom of this dish as shown below.

Next mix up your cheese roll recipe in a medium sized bowl. Add in cream cheese, pasted garlic, and cheddar cheese. Mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Then spread your mix on top of the parsley in the baking dish. Put in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Remove and you should be able to lift that plastic wrap and roll up the cheese. Shape into a log and be sure all outer surfaces are covered with the chopped parsley. Wrap in plastic wrap to store or serve immediately.

Slice into this cheese roll recipe for a gorgeous presentation. I serve mine on top of crackers but you can use anything that you like. Don’t love the idea of parsley? Try this same technique with toasted pecans! I bet that version would also look and taste great. This is just a starting off point. What else would you add to this recipe? Maybe some different cheeses? Some additional spices? The possibilities are endless!
