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
Cut goat cheese logs into 8-12 portions each (16-24 total) and roll into balls.

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.

Combine walnuts with panko in a medium bowl and set aside.

Crack eggs into a medium bowl and whisk well.

Working one at a time, dip the goat cheese balls into the whisked egg then into the panko bowl. Roll/sprinkle until coated on all sides.

Place panko goat cheese balls spaced on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or plate and freeze for 30 minutes.

When you're ready to bake, preheat oven to 465 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the goat cheese balls on top of the parchment and spray with olive oil. This will help them get crispy and golden.

Place on the center rack and bake for 8 minutes. Depending on your oven's efficiency, check the balls at the 6-minute mark and keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Since then, it’s led an epic bust that rivals the dot-com era stock market collapse. But there are still plenty of true believers. And as the dust settles, investors and regulators find themselves still grappling with questions first raised when Bitcoin broke into public consciousness five years ago: What exactly is it? How do imitators like Ethereum, Ripple’s XRP and Bitcoin Cash work? Should I buy it? Where do cryptocurrencies fit into the future of money? Here’s a guide for those feeling at sea in these turbulent digital waters. 1. What’s been happening?
