4. Chopped Nuts
For a crunchy texture and added flavor, we'll be rolling the cheese ball in chopped nuts. You can use any type of nuts you like, such as pecans, almonds, or walnuts.
Instructions:
1. Soften the Cream Cheese
Before getting started, make sure to let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to mix and form into a ball.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Swiss cheese. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend the two cheeses together until well combined.
3. Add the Seasonings
Next, add in the garlic powder, onion powder, and dried herbs to the cheese mixture. Mix until all the seasonings are evenly distributed.
4. Form the Cheese Ball
Using your hands, form the cheese mixture into a ball shape. Place the ball on a sheet of plastic wrap and wrap it tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Roll in Chopped Nuts
Once chilled, unwrap the cheese ball and roll it in the chopped nuts until fully coated. Use your hands to press the nuts into the cheese ball to ensure they stick.
