Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Pepper
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, Mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Stir or mix with a hand mixer until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.

Step 3

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cheese mixture for 15-20 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Step 4

Meanwhile, finely chop the nuts and spread them out on a plate or shallow dish.

Step 5

Once the cheese mixture is chilled, use a small scoop or your hands to form it into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 6

Roll each cheese ball in the chopped nuts, pressing gently to coat evenly.

Step 7

Place the finished cheese balls on a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with crackers or vegetable sticks, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
