This is a great tasting cheese ball I make often when expecting guests.

1 (250 gram) package cream cheese (at room temperature)

4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated

3 green onions, finely chopped

1 tablespoon Frank’s RedHot sauce

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans

DIRECTIONS

Mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, hot sauce and smoked paprika.

Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Finely grind the nuts.

Remove the cheese mixture from the refrigerator.

Place the ground nuts in a plate.

Grease your hands with olive oil and form the cheese mixture into a ball.

Roll over the nuts to coat.

Serve with your favourite crackers.
