Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese finely shredded (divided)
  • 2 green onion thinly sliced
  • 2 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 sprigs fresh curly parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese and ½ of the cheese. This works best when the cream cheese is room temperature. Stir in the green onion, bacon crumbles, everything bagel seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
  • Scoop the cheese mixture onto the serving platter (or parchment paper, if you’re serving it later). Use a piece of plastic wrap (or wear food prep gloves) to mold the cheese into a carrot shape.
  • Use the parsley to make a carrot stem at the wide end of the carrot.
  • Press the remaining shredded cheese onto the sides of the cheeseball, until well covered. If you have longer shreds of cheese, you might want to cut them into smaller pieces to cover the carrot better. Serve with crackers on the side.

Notes

  • You can easily double this recipe, if you want.
  • You can store the carrot in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap, before serving for up to 2 days.
