For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture. Experiment with different types of nuts or herbs for the coating. Walnuts, pistachios, chives, or dill are all excellent choices. Serve with an assortment of crackers, baguette slices, or vegetable sticks for dipping. The cheese ball can be frozen for up to a month. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
