Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup pecans
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 4 oz plain goat cheese
Instructions
- In a small skillet on medium heat or in an oven preheated to 400°F, toast pecans until lightly browned and fragrant. Watch them carefully so they don't burn. Let pecans cool before handling.
- Finely chop pecans and cranberries. Mix them on a small plate or in a shallow dish.
- Scoop goat cheese by the teaspoon and shape into balls. Roll each ball in the cranberry and pecan mixture, pressing gently to evenly coat the outside.
- Store goat cheese balls in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
Notes
- Wetting or lightly oiling your hands can help prevent the goat cheese from sticking when you're rolling the balls.
- While best served shortly after making them, these mini goat cheese balls can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
