Goat Cheese Balls
I have made these goat cheese balls for years and for some reason it’s always during football season. I have played with different goat cheeses and herbs that I have added to the panko but I always come back to the simplest one. Which is the one I am going to share with you today. I think I keep coming back to it because it comes together so easily. I hope you give it a try because I can guarantee it will be a hit!
Which type of goat cheese is best for this recipe?
I prefer the goat cheese logs. They crumble perfectly and are easily made into a ball. I let them rest on my countertop, unopened, for about 1 hour before I start making the balls. There are other more harder goat cheeses but imagine having to grate them to make them into a ball. Hahaha! Nope, this mom has no time for that!
