Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 4 oz Feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 4 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (divided)
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 2 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 0 Crackers or fresh veggies (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crumbled feta cheese. Mix thoroughly using a fork or an electric mixer until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, dried oregano, and fresh dill to the cheese mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Using clean hands, shape the cheese mixture into a ball. Place it on a piece of plastic wrap and wrap tightly, shaping it into a smooth sphere. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Step 4

While the cheese ball is chilling, prepare the coating by combining the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley with the chopped walnuts (or pecans) in a shallow dish or plate.

Step 5

After the cheese ball has chilled, unwrap it and gently roll it in the parsley and nut mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks evenly.

Step 6

Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the coated cheese ball to enhance the flavor and give it a shiny finish (optional).

Step 7

Transfer the cheese ball to a serving platter and serve with crackers or fresh veggies for dipping.

Step 8

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
