  1. Tasty little spread I made for the games this afternoon. I love the crunch of the scallions on top and the creaminess of the cheese. This is very a filling and satisfying football snack! Just a thought- this would be a great way to use of left over ham. Congrats on you football pool win and thanks for the recipe.
     
  2. Nice, all-purpose spread that is easy to prepare. I topped mine with chopped roasted red pepper and pepperoncini.
     
  3. Try as I might, I just could NOT get this cheese "ball" to form a ball after I microwaved it (and it was only in the microwave for 30 seconds.) At first I thought this would effect my rating...but then I tasted it and oh wowie was it good I just couldn't let it's shape count against it. This was so easy, and I was thinking that even if I can't get it into a ball, serving it in a ramiken with the bells and green onions on top would look REALLY festive for Christmas. Thanks for posting!!
