For a smoother texture, ensure the cheese is finely shredded. This helps it to blend seamlessly with the other ingredients. If you're preparing these ahead of time, place the unbaked balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze them. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. They can be baked directly from frozen; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat, or a tablespoon of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for added flavor complexity. Serve with a variety of dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, ranch, or a spicy aioli, to offer your guests different flavor options.
