Pimiento Cheese Ball

With all of the bold, spicy, and ultra-savory flavors of spreadable pimiento cheese, this may be our favorite riff on the classic cheese ball. This retro American crowd-pleaser takes minutes to prepare, can be made ahead, and transports well if needed, making it the ideal party app. You can customize flavors to suit your palate by swapping in your choice of nuts, herbs, and/or seasonings for the ones here, or make our Classic Cheese Ball, or this Port Wine and Blue Cheese riff.
