Bald Eagle Cheeseball

Inspired by Kylee's Kitchen

Cheeseball

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

¼ cup shredded mozzarella

2 tablespoons sour cream

2 tablespoons cooked, crumbled bacon

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Garnish

2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella

2-4 tablespoons pecan halves

1 slice yellow bell pepper

2 slices black olives

Mix together the cheeseball ingredients until well combined.

Spread the remaining mozzarella over a piece of plastic wrap.  Place the cheeseball in the middle.  Wrap around to cover the cheeseball and mold into an eagle shape.  Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Remove from the refrigerator.  Press pecans near the bottom of the cheeseball like feathers, then add the olives for eyes and pepper as a beak.  Serve cold.
