Transcription: Healthy Gluten-Free Bean and Cottage Cheese Ball Recipe Video
Together we’re going to make my yummy healthy cheddar cheese ball with some surprise ingredients we’re adding a few Super Foods including white beans and cottage cheese to increase the protein and decrease the fat and once this cheese ball is mixed with some delicious Savory.
Seasonings and then rolled in toasted pecans and green onions you’ll never know they’re there you can simply enjoy the health benefits and a crab pleasing appetizer the cheese ball is super easy to make using a food process processor we’re going to start with 4 oz of cream cheese and you will want this to be room temperature so that it Blends down.
Easily and then we’re adding a four of cup of cottage cheese and you can use large curd small curd lowfat non-fat full fat whatever your preference then we’re adding half a cup of some white beans and you can use any variety that you like if you’re using canned beans be sure to rinse and drain them first and then we’re adding one cup of shredded.
Cheddar cheese and again you can use any cheese that you like then for seasonings I have half a teaspoon dried parsley half a teaspoon dried dill 1/4 a teaspoon garlic powder a/4 a teaspoon onion powder and a/4 of a teaspoon salt we’ll just dump those right in and then I’m adding half a teaspoon of washer Shire sauce I think I said that right.
Now we simply snap on the lid and then blend this on high until it’s nice and smooth that looks great and now is an excellent time to go in for a pinky test that tastes fantastic now we’re going to create our cheese ball by spreading it out on some plastic wrap and then putting it into our fridge so it can chill completely and honestly I think.
The most difficult part about making this recipe is just getting a clean sheet of plastic wrap without it folding up on itself which usually happens to me okay got it hardest part is done and now we can just take our mixture and we’re going to dump it right in the center of the plastic and then I’ll roughly smooth it into a ball shape and then we’ll lift.
Up our plastic on all sides give it a little twist and then we have this very cute cheese ball in the making now this can go into the fridge for at least 2 hours or even better overnight so it can chill all the way through I have on here that I made yesterday that’s been hanging out in my fridge and so it is all ready to get rolled in some yummy.
Goodness I’m using half of a cup of pecans but you can use any nut that you like and I think they taste even better if you toast them first so I just took a fry pan on medium heat dropped in a little Pat of butter added half a cup of nuts a little bit of salt and then I just stirred them around until they started to toast and they turn this.
Really beautiful dark brown color so now I’m going to spread these out on my cutting board and then just roughly chop them with my knife and then I’m going to scoop them up and dump them into a shallow bowl then to add even more flavor as well as a beautiful green color we’re going to add a stock of green onion I’m just going to chop these.
Down lengthwise so that they’re nice and thin now I’ll just dce about 2 tablesp of green onions then I’ll add these to the bowl and then I’m just going to mix these together with my hands then it’s time to roll the cheese ball and then drop the ball right into my bowl and then I can just lift all the nuts up on top of it which makes it easier to roll.
It around until it is completely covered in all that yumminess this is very #t satisfying and then once we’ve squished in as many of those nuts and onions as possible we can go ahead and just transfer it to a plate and it is ready to serve one of the many wonderful things about a cheese ball is you can serve it with any kind of.
Crackers that you like these Multi Grain crackers are my favorite I’m dying to try this but I made this for a party we’re going to tomorrow night so I made this really cute mini cheese ball that I can sample so I’ll just go in with my cracker yum that is so.
Tasty that it’s so simple but so yummy I love how you bite through those toasted pecans on the outside and the green onion just gives a perfect amount of little Savory flavor then the cheesy creamy center is so yummy then having the white beans just gives it a really great texture and structure I would never guess that this was made with.
Cottage cheese and beans I love that it’s made with clean natural ingredients which means I’m going to feel just as good even after I eat it well thank you so much for hanging out with me today in my kitchen I’ve included a link to the full recipe and it’s in the video description below which takes you to my website gemmy.com.
