Recipe For Olive and Thyme Cheese Ball

Olive and Thyme Cheese Ball

I have often said that I have cheese running through my veins instead of blood. I simply adore cheese in just about any form (stinky cheese, like Limburger, is the exception). So I have been very excited about this month’s Improv Challenge, cheese and crackers.

My mom has a fabulous cheese ball recipe and I am sure a week after this goes live I might actually find it. She uses extra sharp cheddar and a hint of blue cheese, too. It’s a really tasty appetizer. However, as I was unable to find the exact recipe, I ventured out on my own and made this Olive and Thyme Cheese Ball. My kids ate it on crackers and I enjoyed it with gluten free chips. I also threw some onto a baked potato and a little more went into a scrambled egg. Leftover cheese balls are really good as sandwich spreads, too.
