Helpful Tips

Get Creative with Ingredients: Personalize your cheese ball with your favorite flavors! Consider adding herbs like dill or chives, spices such as smoked paprika, or even chopped olives for an extra layer of taste.
Prep Ahead of Time: Prepare the cheese ball a day in advance. Simply shape and coat it, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Elevate Your Presentation: For an extra touch of charm, use fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to create a leafy top for the carrot. Placing the cheese ball on a platter lined with shredded lettuce or colorful vegetable sticks can also enhance its visual appeal and make it look like a garden centerpiece.

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese softened
1 cup cheddar cheese finely shredded (divided)
2 green onions thinly sliced
2 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
3 sprigs fresh curly parsley

Instructions

In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese and ½ of the cheese. This works best when the cream cheese is room temperature. Stir in the green onion, bacon crumbles, everything bagel seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
Scoop the cheese mixture onto the serving platter (or parchment paper, if you’re serving it later). Use a piece of plastic wrap (or wear food prep gloves) to mold the cheese into a carrot shape.
Use the parsley to make a carrot stem at the wide end of the carrot.
Press the remaining shredded cheese onto the sides of the cheeseball, until well covered. If you have longer shreds of cheese, you might want to cut them into smaller pieces to cover the carrot better. Serve with crackers on the side.
