Pro Tips

1. Chill the Cream Cheese For easier mixing and shaping, make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before beginning. This will ensure a smoother mixture and help prevent clumping.

2. Adjusting the Giardiniera If you prefer a spicier or more tangy flavor, adjust the amount of giardiniera to taste. Be sure to drain it well to avoid making the mixture too wet.

3. Mix by Hand First Before using the blender, stir the ingredients together by hand to evenly distribute them. This prevents over-blending and maintains some texture in the mixture.

4. Use Gloves for Rolling To make shaping the balls easier and less messy, consider wearing food preparation gloves. This also helps in maintaining the shape without the mixture sticking to your hands.

5. Customize Your Coat If you want extra flavor and texture, consider mixing some finely chopped fresh herbs or spices like paprika into the Parmesan before rolling the balls in it. This can add a unique twist to each bite.
