Three Cheese Cheese Ball

   2 tbs. minced onion
   1/4 cup cream cheese
   1/4 cup processed swiss cheese spread ( I use Merkt's Swiss Almond cheese spread)
   1 cup grated cheddar
   1/8 tsp. lemon pepper
   1/8 tsp. dried cilantro
   1 tbs. sunflower seeds lightly roasted
   1 tbs. chopped almonds lightly roasted
Place the sunflower seeds and the almonds on a baking sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until they are lightly roasted. Keep a close eye on them because once they begin to roast they will burn quickly.
In a bowl combine the cream cheese, swiss, cheddar, lemon pepper, and cilantro. Mix together and form into a ball.
Place the roasted sunflower and almonds in a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder and grind until ground. Pour them onto a plate.
Roll the cheese into the ground nuts until it is completely covered.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes minimum.
