Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams blue cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons vodka
- 100 grams walnuts
- 10 grams chives
- 50 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine blue cheese and cream cheese. Use a fork to mash and blend until fully incorporated and creamy.
Add the vodka to the cheese mixture and mix thoroughly until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
While the mixture chills, finely chop the walnuts and chives. Combine them in a shallow dish.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and panko breadcrumbs. Stir frequently and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Add the toasted breadcrumbs to the walnut and chive mixture, then season with salt and black pepper.
Remove the cheese mixture from the refrigerator. Use a teaspoon or small scoop to portion out small amounts and roll them into smooth, bite-sized balls with your hands.
Roll each cheese ball in the walnut, chive, and breadcrumb coating until fully covered.
Place the coated balls on a serving platter and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delightful finger food. Enjoy!
