Classic party favourite with seeds!
Cheese balls are a staple party appy in my house. I make this nut free version for my friends and family that can’t eat nuts. The seeds give you lots of antioxidants and make a great nut substitute.
The cheese balls can be frozen for up to a month. If you are going to freeze them don’t roll in seeds until you are ready to serve them. Allow to thaw and then roll and serve.
