Red pepper, sweet corn, and blue cheese transform cheese balls into a patriotic delight. Perfect for Independence Day celebrations!

Ingredients:

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
3 tablespoons butter, softened
0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup diced roasted red peppers
2 cups fresh white corn kernels
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
0.5 cup chopped toasted almonds
0.5 cup sliced fresh chives
1 cup minced crisp-cooked bacon

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, butter, salt, pepper, cayenne, roasted red peppers, corn, and blue cheese until fully mixed. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until cold.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of cheese mixture using a sorbet scoop or spoon onto a lined sheet pan. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, approximately 1 hour. Shape doesn't need to be perfect as they will be rolled in coatings later.
Roll chilled cheese balls in a mixture of almonds, chives, and bacon until well-coated. Shape into balls by rolling briefly in your hands. Chill in the refrigerator on a plate or pan until serving.
