Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Pkg Cream Cheese ((8 oz each))
1 Cup Diced Deli Ham ((can also use leftover holiday ham))
1 Cup Cheddar Cheese ((shredded))
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/3 Cup Green Onions ((sliced thinly))
3/4 Cup Chopped Pecans ((toasted))

Steps:

  • Set your cream cheese out for about an hour before you mix this cheese ball together. It is much easier to make this recipe if your cream cheese is soft.
  • Place cream cheese, ham, cheddar cheese, garlic salt, onion powder, green onions in a mixing bowl. (I like to add mine to my kitchen aide and mix with the paddle, It makes this recipe so easy!)
  • Beat together until ingredients are mixed.
  • Using a spatula, shape into a round ball. (You can use your hands if you'd like but the rubber spatula works almost just as well and you don't have to get your hands dirty.)
  • Toast the nuts in a pan on medium heat on the stovetop. Roll in toasted pecans until evenly covered.
  • Cover with plastic wrap until needed. When you're ready to serve it, lay on a platter with your favorite buttery crackers and veggies. Enjoy!

Provided by Kardea Brown

Time 45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Canola oil, for frying
1/2 cup diced country ham
2 1/2 cups leftover cooked grits
1 cup grated smoked Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Fill a large Dutch oven two-thirds full with oil and heat over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F.
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham and cook just until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Add the grits and cheese to the bowl and stir until combined. Using wet hands, scoop 1/4 cup of the grit mixture, roll it into a ball and place on a platter or large plate. Repeat until all the grit mixture is used.
  • Whisk together the flour, paprika and cayenne in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, add the eggs. Add the panko to another separate shallow bowl. Dip each grit ball into the flour mixture and shake to remove any excess before dipping into the eggs and then into the panko, spinning to coat completely.
  • Add the grit balls to the Dutch oven in batches, frying until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to a sheet pan lined with a wire rack and immediately sprinkle with salt.
