Vegan Cheese Ball Everything bagel - 10 Minute
Description
The vegan cheese ball uses super fine almond flour mixed with nutritional yeast, dried herbs like sage, thyme, garlic, and onion powders, plus salt and black pepper for savory seasoning. Fresh garlic and lime juice add zest and aromatic depth. Non-dairy yogurt or milk is combined for moisture and creaminess, with olive oil or aquafaba aiding texture and binding. White miso or chickpea miso paste introduces umami and an additional fermented tang to the flavor profile.
After mixing, the dough is shaped into a ball, coated generously with everything bagel seasoning, and baked low and slow to meld flavors and firm the texture. Cooling allows the flavors to develop and the cheese ball to set. It can be eaten immediately or refrigerated for fuller flavor and longer keeping. Variations include adding fresh herbs, smoked paprika, or chopped jalapenos for alternative notes or thinning to make a dip.
This cheese ball provides a flavorful, plant-based alternative for those avoiding dairy, suitable as an appetizer or complement to crackers and breads. Store refrigerated up to four days, and reheat gently if desired. The recipe yields four servings and leverages pantry herbs and tangy elements to approximate traditional cheese textures.

- To create a dip, add extra non-dairy yogurt and a bit of water to thin the mixture before baking longer.

- Using aquafaba instead of oil creates an oil-free version and improves binding.
