Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Goat cheese
- 0.333 cup Black olives (pitted and finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp Honey
- 0.5 cup Walnuts (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- Crackers or crostini (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, black olives, fresh thyme, and honey. Use a fork or spatula to mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 10–15 minutes to slightly firm up, making it easier to work with.
In the meantime, prepare the coating mixture by combining the finely chopped walnuts and parsley in a shallow dish or bowl.
Remove the goat cheese mixture from the refrigerator. Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Roll each ball in the walnut-parsley coating mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered on all sides.
Transfer the finished truffles to a serving plate and refrigerate for another 5–10 minutes to set.
Serve the Black Olives Goat Truffles with crackers or crostini for a delightful appetizer. Enjoy!
