Ham and Cheese Spread

You will love the flavor combination of this ham and cheese spread.
A cheese appetizer with the flavor of ham and a hint of onion makes this spread a wonderful addition to any party.

In order to get a uniform shape the recipe suggests chilling the spread in a bowl and turning it upside down to release the spread. This will give a nice smooth shape to your spread.

If you are preparing this recipe for a football party then you could try shaping it into a football and creating the laces with some pimento strips. I like to make as many appetizers ahead of time as I can. This cheese ball is good for a few days in the refrigerator. Take it out 1/2 hour before you serve, so it has time to soften up a bit. I made the mistake of serving one of these right out of the fridge and no one could cut into it until it sat for a while.
