Carrot-cheese snack with nuts

Snack balls is a simple, quick, but very appetizing and bright appetizer: it’s all about the balls. They can be used as an alternative to salads, served with beer, and even included in children's holiday menus. Such balls will decorate any celebration, because there are a huge number of options for serving them.

Cheese balls

Ingredients:

• hard cheese - 50 gr
• curd cheese - 1 pack
• pistachios - 100 gr
• grape

Cooking method:

1. Grate hard cheese on a fine grater. Place it in a cup. Add curd cheese and mix. Place the prepared mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. Grind the pistachios in a blender and place on a flat plate.
3. We take a little cheese mixture, make a depression in the center, put the grapes and close it on all sides. Then roll in nuts and place on a plate. The appetizer is ready, serve.

Cheese balls with garlic

Ingredients:

• 250 grams of hard or processed cheese;
• 5 boiled chicken eggs;
• mayonnaise;
• 2-3 cloves of garlic;
• 200 grams of frozen crab sticks;
• 1 small fresh cucumber;
• 200 grams of lightly salted red fish;
• light sesame;
• a mixture of white and black sesame seeds;
• raw carrots;
• walnut quarters;
• a bunch of green onions;
• greens (dill or cilantro);
• Sun-dried tomatoes;
• olives, pitted;
• ground sweet red pepper;
• pita.

Cooking method:

1. First, we need to prepare the base for the holiday snack. To do this, grate hard cheese and eggs on a fine grater. Squeeze the garlic through a garlic press. Some housewives use processed cheese, but I prefer hard cheese.
2. Salt and pepper to your taste, dilute with mayonnaise and knead. (You need to add enough mayonnaise so that the consistency of the mixture is suitable for making balls).
3. Divide the cheese and garlic mass into 5 parts.
4. Pour 2/3 of the grated crab sticks into the first plate and add a spoonful of mayonnaise. Mix everything thoroughly. (We reserve the remaining crab sticks for breading). With wet hands, form balls. They can be any size: I like them small, so I use one teaspoon of the mass. Balls with this filling can be decorated with finely grated chicken yolk or rolled in crab breading.
5. Peel the cucumber, chop it into small cubes and add to the cheese mixture. Then cut the red fish into small cubes. We form cheese balls in the same way, and hide a small piece of salted fish in the middle. We bread the finished balls separately in each type of sesame.
6. Raw carrots need to be grated and mixed with cheese. We fill these balls with a quarter of a walnut. For decoration we use pre-roasted and ground nuts.
7. Then add very finely chopped fish and green onions and half a spoon of mayonnaise to the cheese and eggs. We use greens for decoration.
8. To prepare the fifth version of the holiday snack: add chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the base. We hide an olive in the middle of each ball and bread it in paprika.
9. Cut the pita bread into squares and dry them in a frying pan. The result is crispy chips for festive serving of our breaded cheese balls.

I recommend serving this appetizer cold on the holiday table. It turns out beautifully when you place different types of cheese balls in strips on a large dish, and decorate the edges with crispy lavash chips and sprigs of fresh dill. Here you can experiment as much as your imagination allows. Be sure to try preparing such a festive appetizer for the table, you won’t regret it.

Nowadays there are a huge number of varieties of cheese, and there are even more dishes involving them, so it is very difficult for a sane person to refuse such yummy food.

I would like to leave you with a few ideas for preparing light and quick snacks that will decorate the holiday table, diversify the daily menu and delight those present during friendly gatherings.

• Cheese sticks will be a very worthy dish on any table. This is a very savory, warm cheese appetizer, and its taste will depend on the type of cheese you use to make it. The chopsticks look very appetizing on the table and are sure to please everyone present, so prepare more of them.
• The series of light and simple snacks can also include a recipe. They can be made sweet, neutral or salty, and served with sweet or any other sauce. My family and I prefer to eat them sweet, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and wash them down with milk or sour-milk products.
• The Italians are considered great experts in the cheese business, and I will be happy to share recipes for ricotta, which is a traditional snack for them. You can make this cheese yourself at home and use it in making desserts, salads and other various treats.
• And finally, I’ll leave you with some very interesting recipes for making tofu. In our country, this product is still gaining popularity, because few people know that it is a complete substitute for animal protein, which contains the same amino acids that are found in meat. Tofu is even prescribed to those who are allergic to any protein. Check out these recipes and I'm sure you'll love them.

This appetizer, also known as “Snowballs,” is well suited for a holiday table, in particular for the New Year’s table.
