Sweet and savory chèvre goat cheese balls
Ingredients
  • 11 oz plain chèvre goat cheese
  • 2 T honey
  • 1 t olive oil
  • a pinch of fleur de sel
  • 2 cups blend of finely and coursely chopped coating "rub"
Instructions
  1. Let chèvre soften slightly at room temperature, then use a fork to combine it with honey, olive oil, and salt.
  2. Scoop about one half of a tablespoon of goat cheese and roll into a ball, you should get between 30-35 goat cheese "truffles." Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet or a silpat and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes.
  3. To make the coating "rub," combine chopped up edible flower petals, herbs, seeds, nuts, and dried fruits - the more the merrier.
  4. Roll the chilled goat cheese balls in the rub, coat well and keep chilled before serving.
