Christmas Tree Cheese Ball Recipe | Ree Drummond | Food ... image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Total Time 45 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces sharp Cheddar 
1/4 teaspoon cayenne 
2 to 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
3 scallions, sliced 
Juice of 1/2 lemon 
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 
1/4 cup very finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill 
2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds 
Buttery crackers, such as Ritz, for serving 

Steps:

  • Add the cream cheese, Cheddar, cayenne, Worcestershire, scallions, lemon juice and some salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is almost smooth; you still want a few bits of cheese in there. Remove with a rubber spatula to a piece of plastic wrap and wrap up the cheese mixture. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Shape the cheese mixture with your hands into a Christmas tree/cone using the plastic wrap to keep it together. Mix the chopped parsley and dill together on a plate or work surface. Coat the shaped cheese in the chopped herbs.
  • Transfer the cheese tree to the center of a platter. Decorate with the pomegranate seeds as ornaments. Serve with buttery crackers.

    1. Turn on the oven to 200ºC/gas 6. Carefully cut the pastry block in half with a table knife. Wrap the other half and refrigerate or freeze for later.
    2. Dust some flour onto a clean work surface and, using a rolling pin, roll out the pastry into a square, measuring 26cm x 26cm. Cut into 4 equal squares.
    3. Place the pastry squares on a baking tray, leaving a space between each.
    4. Using the back of a spoon, spread the centre of each square with pesto, but don’t spread it onto the edges.
    5. Squash the tomatoes into a large mixing bowl, then snap the asparagus spears into 3cm pieces. Keep the lovely pointy tips and a little of the stalk, but discard the end 3cm.
    6. Using a speed peeler, carefully shred the courgettes into ribbons. Tear the roasted peppers into strips and add to the bowl.
    7. Pick the basil leaves, reserving the pretty ones for later. Place the large ones in the mixing bowl.
    8. Mix the vegetables together in the bowl, adding a splash of oil. Pile a little of the mixture on each pesto-smeared tart and top with two olives (if using).
    9. Break up the mozzarella and place little bits on top of each tart – this will make it gooey like a pizza. Grate over some Parmesan (if using).
    10. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the cheese is all bubbly.
    11. Once the tarts are ready, allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle with the reserved basil leaves and serve with a nice salad for lunch.
