Cheese Ball
One of the favourite appetizers at my family’s Christmas has always been Cheese Ball. Although not the healthiest recipe, it is completely delicious on rice crackers, regular crackers or my personal favourite – celery. It is still a long-standing favourite because it is gluten-free. I can’t tell you exactly why it is called Cheese Ball as I never really have seen it in a ball like form, it typically gets put into a cheerful container with a small pate knife. If you’ve never heard of Imperial Cheese, it’s a Canadian favourite.

Recipe Notes
Cover with wrap and let chill in the fridge overnight for best results or at least an hour before serving.
Don't add additional garlic, as it "grows" the longer it's chilled.
