Crab Rangoon Cheese Ball
I came up with this recipe with my new found love of Tillamook cream cheese. It’s much creamier and richer than your normal cream cheese. It’s so good you could shamelessly eat a brick of it in one sitting. Shamelessly. I took the ingredients that would go into a crab rangoon and turned it into the most decadent cheese ball known to mankind. The cheese ball contains jumbo lump crabmeat(substitute artificial crab if on a budget), shallots, chives, green onion, a few seasonings, and of course, Tillamook cream cheese. I rolled the mix into 2 balls, then rolled them in sesame seeds. They should chill in your refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
