Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Freshly shredded melts better than pre-shredded.
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped Use both white and green parts for flavor.
  • 1/2 cup cooked corned beef, chopped Finely chop for even distribution.
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise Adds creaminess to the filling.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Enhances flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper To taste.
  • 1 package mini pretzels For serving and scooping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine the filling ingredients in a bowl until smooth and homogenous.
  3. Form small balls from the mixture using a cookie scoop or teaspoons.
  4. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 15 minutes until warmed through and slightly melty.
  2. Serve warm with mini pretzels for scooping.

Notes

Chill the filling for better shape retention. For a crispier top, broil for 30 seconds at the end. Use full-fat cream cheese and avoid overmixing for the best texture.
