For the Cheese Balls:

• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 cup diced roasted red peppers
• 2 cups fresh white corn kernels
• 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

For the Coatings:

• 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds
• 1/2 cup sliced fresh chives
• 1 cup minced crisp-cooked bacon

1. Combine cream cheese, butter, salt, pepper, cayenne, roasted red peppers, corn, and blue cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir together until evenly and thoroughly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 1 hour.
2. Use a sorbet scoop or spoon to form tablespoon-sized balls of cheese mixture; place on a lined sheet pan. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. A perfect shape doesn't matter at this point since these will be rolled in the coatings to complete the process.
3. Transfer chilled cheese balls into the coatings of your choice, such as almonds, chives, and bacon, and roll around to cover. Once coated, roll each briefly in your hands to achieve the final ball shape. Transfer to a plate or pan and keep chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

1. Freeze the blue cheese until firm to make crumbling easy
2. You can roast the red pepper using a torch or on the stovetop.
3. For best results, chill the cheese mixture before and after scooping, but if you're short on time, you can skip this step.
