I am sure you are all wondering how I came up with the fantastic idea of putting anything and everything into ball form, cooking it up, and enjoying the most amazing bite of food ever…. Well here is the moment you have been waiting for. Unfortunately I cannot take full credit, in fact, I don’t even know who came up with these, but I happened upon the delicious little ball at a Browns Football party, and we all know they were not going to win so this day was all about the food. Whoever the genius was, I just have to thank. I will say though, my version is a bit different than the original; they had taken a round piece of salami and placed a small scoop of cream cheese in the middle, then placed it in the crescent roll. Now don’t get me wrong, it was really good, but I just knew it could be even better. After a few weeks of longingly thinking about this cheesy little ball, I experimented a bit and came up with this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as my friends and I do!
1lb sliced salami (chopped) (pepperoni also works)2 pkgs cream cheese (softened)
2-3 pkgs crescent rolls or crescent sheets
Chop salami and mix with softened cream cheese
Cut crescent sheets into 16 squares and place a tablespoon of filling in the middle of each (if using crescent rolls, form two triangles into a square, then cut into three rectangles)
Fold corners over and roll into a ball
Place on baking sheet and cook at 350 degrees, until brown about 25-30 minutes
they are so delicious!
