Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 50 grams chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, and lemon zest. Use a fork to mash and mix the cheeses until smooth and well combined.
Finely chop the parsley and dill, then set aside. Divide the herbs into two portions: one for mixing into the cheese mixture and one for coating the truffles later.
Add half of the chopped parsley and dill to the cheese mixture along with the cracked black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the herbs are evenly distributed.
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, take about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form truffles.
In a shallow dish, combine the reserved parsley, dill, chopped walnuts, and paprika. Roll each cheese truffle in this coating mixture until completely covered.
Place the coated truffles on a serving platter or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
