They may look as cute as holiday chocolates, but these mini cheese balls are made for those of us who love a little cayenne and sharp Cheddar on our party plate.
A Christmas tradition around our house, it goes quickly and I end up making it several times over the season, especially good toasted regular or under the broiler with a little cheddar sprinkled over.
What's the secret to its success? Fresh basil and onions mixed with our garlic & herb flavored mayo. Add ham and a slice of sharp Cheddar, and you've got a winner.
