When you're looking for delicious and nostalgic party food, you've gotta make this Bacon Parmesan Cheese Ball. It's pack with amazing flavors that will make your gatherings absolutely awesome.
When I'm hosting a gathering, whether it's a dinner party of a witchcraft circle, I know that everything contributes to the energy that's created. From the lighting to the music to the choice of food, it all sets a tone, an actual vibration, that let's people know what to expect. If I want them to feel calm, I light incense, play soothing music, and serve herbal tea. If I want more of a party vibe, I put on up tempo music, serve foods you can easily eat while standing up, and pop a bottle of prosecco.
If I want them to feel totally retro, a little bit silly, and completely relaxed I play 60s feel good soul music and serve something nostalgic like a cheese ball. It's got real Brady Bunch vibes and I think my mother would approve. You know you're in for a good time and a lot of laughs when you see something like that on the table.
What makes this Bacon Parmesan Cheese Ball so awesome?
Kitschy though it may be, this Bacon Parmesan Cheese Ball is no joke. It's seriously delicious stuff. Of course, anything that's primarily made of cheese and bacon can only be good. It's also flavored with lots of Parmesan cheese for plenty of umami. And I like to add plenty of black pepper and a pinch of cayenne for a subtle heat. Then there's the vibrant flat leaf parsley that coats the outside of the cheese ball. It's not just decorative. It brings its own amazing, fresh flavor to the party.
This is super simple to make, and it's ideal for party food because it has to be made ahead of time. You can even make it the day before and just keep it in the fridge until you're ready to serve. If you're having a big party, it's easy to double it and make two cheese balls. And if you're into it, you could get creative with the shape to up the entertainment value.
Magical Properties of Pork
Pigs are sacred to many deities, including Hecate and Freya, and were often given as offerings at ancient temples. Because of their large litters and the amount of food you could create from one animal, pork has become a symbol of prosperity and fertility. Ruled by Jupiter and the element of fire, you can use this meat in all its forms to call in good luck and longevity.
