Boule de Fromage aux Herbes et au Bacon

Okay. The title might seem a bit pretentious, but would anyone really look at Cheese Ball XXXVIII? This is a delicious variation on the holiday cheese ball that has been in my family for close to 40 years. It is perfect served on crusty bread or crackers. One of the nice things about most cheese ball recipes is the versatility. If you want a spicier ball, try substituting a 1/2 cup of pepper jack for the Cheddar. Don’t like bacon? Use Nova lox instead. Don’t like dill? Fugedabowdit! Dill makes this recipe sing! But you can play with the herbs used in the cheese ball. Who doesn’t like playing with their food? Serve with crackers or a good bread. Also goes well as a spread for crudites.

Lindy’s Bacon and Onion Cheese Spread

This is a wonderful bacon and onion cheese spread (not dip) that is great for parties and year-round use. For Christmas, I shape this into a tree shape, on a flat tray. I sprinkle the trunk of the tree with crisp bacon and the tree itself with finely chopped green onion tops or chives. I have also shaped it into a cross for my children’s confirmation parties, a Christmas stocking, and even a heart for a special Valentine’s Day party. If you substitute creamy salad dressing for the mayonnaise it will not be the same. My mom tried that and it didn’t turn out well. This is best made the day before and chilled. My family and friends all love this; it’s one of those dishes that I have to make for every holiday and get-together.
