Step 1

Food processor instructions: Using the shredding blade, shred the cheddar cheese.

Step 2

Leave the cheddar in the food processor container, but switch to the standard processing blade. Add the cream cheese, sliced chives, ground chipotle, and cayenne pepper.

Step 3

Process the ingredients until everything is combined, about 1 minute. You may need to stop to scrape down the sides if the ingredients clump too much.

Step 4

Scrape the mixture on to a piece of plastic wrap and use the plastic to shape the cheese into a ball. Refrigerate for one hour until firm.

Step 5

When ready to serve, place the everything bagel mix on a plate, unwrap the cheese ball, and roll to coat the outside. Serve with crackers, and enjoy!

Step 6

No food processor? Shred the cheese using a handheld shredder, and combine everything else with a hand mixer, or by hand with a wooden spoon. Place the mixture on the plastic wrap and continue as directed above.
