I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Grate vintage cheddar cheese (the colder the better to grate or use parmesan) speed 7 for 5 seconds. Set cheese aside.
Chop sun dried tomatoes speed 5 for 5 seconds. No need to wash bowl.
Add both softened cream cheeses, grated cheese and powdered french onion soup to bowl and mix until combined (speed 3-5 scrapping down sides until mixed). Taste and adjust as required.
Cover mould with 2 layers of glad wrap, turn out mixture into mould making sure to pack it down to avoid air bubbles.
Refridgerate until required/set (overnight or at least a couple of hours).
Remove cheese ball from glad wrap and roll in black sesame seeds then ground poppy seeds.
Cut cheese single to look like poured custard and lay on top of cheese ball.
Add "holly" decoration. Serve with any crackers you desire.
Tip
The recipe picture is of my "prototype" smaller cheese ball. Larger one chilling in fridge for Saturday but thought I would share anyway.
You can use any "sturdy" cheese ball recipe that you like as long as it stays in shape. I cheat with french onion soup mix but testers still raved (secret's out!).
Preparation time does not include "setting" in fridge overnight.
In recipe picture I used an orange cheese and cream cheese combination to make "custard" but that's an extra step. I think cheese slices will work just as well because nobody believed I made it anyway!
Make little ones for entree or starters. Put on individual crackers for nibbles... love a good cheese ball, so versatile!

Comments
Thank you for your recipe. It was wonderful and a hit at my husband's work morning tea. I used poppy seeds only as I couldn't find any black sesame seeds. I used gouda cheese slices from Aldi to make the "poured custard" for the top. I was short on time so set the cheese ball in the freezer in a pudding basin for around an hour.
