Day 21 - Fantastic Gorgonzola & White Wine Cheese Ball


I love cheese balls & this one would be perfect while watching football or doing just about anything else. For the paprika listed I highly recommend using Spanish paprika - it has a mild smoky flavor that would add a lot.

Fantastic Gorgonzola and White Wine Cheese Ball

You can substitute chopped parsley or mixed herbs for the paprika

3.

Wrap coated cheese ball in wax paper. Chill in the refrigerator 6 hours, or overnight, before serving
