Description
This cheese ball recipe blends cream cheese with mozzarella, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and finely chopped pepperoni to create a rich, savory mixture. Chilling the mixture allows it to firm up for shaping. Rolling the cheese mixture into a ball and coating it with crushed Ritz crackers combined with Parmesan cheese adds a crunchy, salty layer that contrasts with the soft interior. This preparation delivers an easy-to-make finger food that pairs well with a variety of crackers or sliced vegetables for serving.
