Ingredients

• 227 grams Goat cheese
• 113 grams Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Crushed nuts (e.g., pistachios or walnuts)
• 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional for rolling panko)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese and cream cheese until smooth and well-blended.

Step 2

Finely chop the parsley, chives, and dill, then add them to the cheese mixture.

Step 3

Grate or mince the garlic clove and add it to the bowl.

Step 4

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then stir until evenly combined.

Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture has been used.

Step 6

Place the crushed nuts on one plate and the panko breadcrumbs (if using) on another. For panko, drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil and mix to lightly coat the breadcrumbs for added flavor.

Roll each cheese ball in the crushed nuts, breadcrumbs, or both, ensuring it is evenly coated.
