Category: Cheeseballs

8 oz. cream cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese, finely shredded
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon finely minced sun dried tomatoes

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic, onion salt, oregano, parsley and black pepper. Add mozzarella cheese and continue to mix into the herb-cheese mixture until incorporated.

Place cheese mixture onto a large sheet of plastic wrap. Gather up sides and quickly form mixture into a ball.

Combine breadcrumbs and sun dried tomatoes into a small mixing bowl. Carefully remove cheeseball from plastic wrap and roll around in breadcrumbs to coat, pressing lightly.

Wrap cheese ball in another sheet of saran wrap and chill for at least 1-2 hours for flavors to meld before serving. Serve with crackers or bread.
