Easy Holiday Appetizer—Everything Bagel Seasoning Cheese Ball

My obsession with Everything Bagel Seasoning has yet to subside.  It’s one of those ingredients that adds so much flavor with little effort.  During the holiday season quick and easy appetizers make everyone jolly–and I hope this cheese ball does just that.

Confession–I’ve never made a cheese ball.  But we loved it–ate all of it.  I can’t think of an easier thing to bring to a potluck or set out at your party.  Plop it down with some Prosecco or crisp white wine and you’re in business.
