Recipe

Imagine a giant, creamy, dippable cheese ball coated in that addictive Everything Bagel seasoning—garlicky, onion-y, sesame-poppy perfection. One bite and your guests are fighting over the last scoop. It’s the ultimate no-bake, make-ahead appetizer that looks impressive but is secretly ridiculously easy.

A little help from the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater gives you fluffy, uniform shreds that melt perfectly into the mix and create the prettiest coating—no chunky bits, just pure party magic.

🧀Ingredients (serves 10–12 as an appetizer)

16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened

1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella

¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

½ tsp garlic powder (no fresh garlic needed)

Fresh cracked black pepper

For the coating

⅓ cup Everything Bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

Optional add-ins to the coating: extra sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or finely shredded cheddar for color

🥣Step-by-Step: 4 Moves to Cheese Ball Glory

1. Shred the Cheese Perfectly

Use your cheese shredder hand crank with the coarse blade for fluffy cheddar and Monterey Jack shreds—the uniform texture blends beautifully into the cream cheese base and sticks perfectly to the outside.

2. Mix the Creamy Center

Beat the softened cream cheese with sour cream, Worcestershire, garlic powder, pepper, and green onions until smooth. Fold in the shredded cheeses until everything is evenly distributed.

3. Chill & Shape

Scrape the mixture onto plastic wrap, form into a ball, and refrigerate until firm. Chilling makes coating a breeze.

4. Roll & Reveal

Spread Everything Bagel seasoning on a plate. Unwrap the chilled ball and roll it gently until completely coated—press lightly so every inch is loaded with flavor. Pop it on a platter surrounded by bagel chips, pretzels, crackers, or veggie sticks.

✨Tips & Twists

Make it 2 days ahead—the flavor only gets better

Mini version: shape into bite-sized balls for easy grabbing

Spicy kick: mix a little cayenne or hot sauce into the cheese

Nutty upgrade: roll in a mix of seasoning + very finely shredded almonds or pecans

🎈Conclusion: Your New Party MVP

This Everything Bagel Cheese Ball is creamy, tangy, crunchy, and basically impossible to stop eating. With the rotary grater handling the cheese in seconds, you spend less time shredding and more time being the host everyone raves about.
