Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion and ham.
- Clean and chop the celery stalks into short, bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese.
- Incorporate the finely chopped onion and ham into the softened cream cheese. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- You can use a spoon, spatula, or even mix with clean hands for a more thorough blend.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into a ball shape. If the mixture is too soft to shape, place it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Once formed, you can roll the cheese ball mixture in additional finely chopped ham or onion if desired for extra flavor and texture.
- Place the cheese ball on a plate or in a container, cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least an hour. This helps the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
- When ready to serve, place the cheese ball on a serving platter.
- Arrange the celery sticks around the cheese ball.
- Offer guests a small knife to spread the cheese mixture onto the celery or a spoon to scoop it.
Tips:
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to make it easier to blend.
- For more flavor, you can add herbs like chives or dill to the cheese mixture.
- If you're short on time, use pre-chopped onion and pre-sliced ham to speed up the preparation process.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the fresh crunch of the celery.
- You can garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or finely chopped parsley for a pop of color.
