Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 7 slices center-cut bacon cooked until crispy, divided
  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup minced jalapeno divided (save half for coating)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sliced chives
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
  • couple grinds of black pepper
  • 3 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • To make the ball: In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Swiss cheese, chives, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 4 tbsp. of the jalapeno, and some pepper.
  • Take 4 slices of the cooked bacon and crumble it into the cheese ball mixture. Mash with a fork to really get it combined, then roll into a ball. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the coating. In a shallow dish, crumble the last 3 slices of bacon and combine it with the other 4 tbsp. of jalapeno and shredded parmesan. Stir to combine. Roll cheese ball in coating, pressing it on the outside to fully cover the exterior. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
