Creating the Everything Bagel Cheese Ball involves simple steps that anyone can follow:

1. Mix Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend until creamy.
2. Add Cheese and Seasonings: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, everything bagel seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Shape the Cheese Ball: Using your hands, form the mixture into a ball shape. Make sure it’s compact and well-formed.
4. Cover and Chill: Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 1 hour. Chilling helps to firm it up and allows the flavors to meld.
5. Coat with Everything Bagel Seasoning: Once chilled, unwrap the cheese ball. Roll it in additional everything bagel seasoning to coat the outside evenly.
6. Garnish (Optional): If desired, decorate the cheese ball with chopped nuts or additional green onions for a pop of color.
7. Serve: Carefully transfer the cheese ball to your serving platter.
