Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams blue cheese
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 50 grams butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 100 grams pecans
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, and butter. Mix thoroughly using a fork or an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Chop the fresh dill and fresh chives finely. Add them to the cheese mixture along with black pepper and honey. Mix again to evenly incorporate the ingredients.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the mixture for easier handling.
On a cutting board, finely chop the pecans. Mix the chopped pecans and breadcrumbs in a shallow dish to create the coating.
Remove the cheese mixture from the refrigerator. Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop a small portion of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball, about 1-inch in diameter.
Roll each cheese ball in the pecan and breadcrumb coating, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks evenly.
Repeat the process until all the cheese mixture is used up. Place the finished cheese balls on a serving plate.
Serve the Blue Cheese Balls Juustotahna immediately or refrigerate them until ready to serve. They are best enjoyed chilled.
