Ingredients
1 (227g/8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
1 cup crumbled blue cheese or shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup diced tomatoes
¼ tsp fine sea salt
3 strips bacon, finely diced
Crispy lettuce leaves, such as iceberg or romaine, for serving
Directions
- Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, blue cheese, tomatoes, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Form the mixture into a ball, wrap in parchment paper, and chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon: Place it in a skillet and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it in a shallow bowl, reserving the fat for another use.
- Roll the cheese ball in the bacon pieces once it has set. Serve with crispy lettuce leaves cut into cracker-like squares on a serving platter. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
