BAKED GOAT CHEESE BALLS

Today we're making walnut panko baked goat cheese balls! These honey drizzled crispy goat cheese bites are baked instead of fried and make a fabulous appetizer and salad topper!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 3/4 cup Italian panko breadcrumbs (panko with Italian blend seasoning mixed in)
• 2 eggs
• 2 (8 oz) goat cheese logs
• honey for drizzling
• spray olive oil as needed

EXTRAS

• parchment paper
• large baking sheet
• wire cooling rack (optional)

Instructions

1. Cut goat cheese logs into 8-12 portions each (16-24 total) and roll into balls. 
2. Finely chop and crush your walnuts until it resembles a coarse flour. You can do this with a rolling pin or wine bottle and a plastic bag or use a food processor to mince 'em up.
3. Combine walnuts with panko in a medium bowl and set aside.
