Cheddar Cheese Coins

These Cheddar Cheese Coins are really addictive and great to serve with drinks. They are made in a food processor and rolled into logs, which can be stored in the fridge or freezer to slice a bake later.

Fried Tamale Egg & Cheese Skillet

Every Christmas eve we make tamales with a group of friends. My friend Ginger told me to fry up the leftovers, add eggs and cheese. This is now my favorite way to eat tamales. It's all about the crispiness.

Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Cheese Ball

I am not a big fan of serving a boring cheese platter at a party. It usually doesn't get eaten. I guarantee this cheese ball will be the hit of your next party. Cheese balls were all the rage in the 1970s, but this Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Cheese ball is an updated version of an old classic. So easy to make and the best part is that it has to be made ahead, so you can enjoy your party.
