This Everything Bagel Cheese Ball is a fun, flavorful appetizer that’s rich and can be made completely ahead of time.
I’ve always enjoyed a good cheese ball and will take any reason to make one for a gathering or holiday. They’re easy to prepare, impressive to serve, and endlessly adaptable.

While cheese balls can be rolled in herbs, nuts, or toasted breadcrumbs, everything bagel seasoning is one of my favorites. The sesame and poppy seeds, along with onion and garlic, add great texture and savory bite.
I first shared this recipe on my YouTube channel in 2015 and am glad to include it here now. It’s straightforward and makes a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
