Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup everything bagel seasoning, chopped chives, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

2. Scoop the cheese mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a ball. Wrap the plastic wrap around the ball and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.

3. Remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Roll the ball in the remaining everything bagel seasoning, pressing gently to adhere.

4. Transfer the coated cheese ball to a serving plate and serve with crackers, breadsticks, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

For a creamier texture, allow the cheese ball to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
