Ingredients:

Parsley Cheese Bites

Full fat soft cheese, 75 grams

Cheddar cheese (grated), 100 grams

Danish blue cheese, 50 grams

Ground black pepper (Fresh), as desired

Plain flour, 2-3 tablespoons

Fresh Parsley (finely chopped), 4-5 tablespoons

 

Preparation Method:

Parsley Cheese Bites

Mix all the cheese together; use a fork and form a smooth paste. Now add pepper as per your taste.

Place the finely chopped parsley and the flour on a separate plate. Put the flour on your scalp, shake off excess flour and start making the round ball from the cheese mixture. Make 20 small cheese balls from this cheese mixture, re-flouring your hands if required. Roll each cheese ball in finely chopped parsley.

Transfer all these cheese balls to a serving plate and refrigerate it for 30 minutes before serving. Always serve chilled.
