Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz goat cheese softened
  • 0.75 cup pistachios shelled and crushed
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Method
 

  1. Stir the lemon zest into the softened goat cheese.
  2. Roll the cheese into 12 small balls and chill 20 minutes to firm up.
  3. Spread the crushed pistachios on a plate.
  4. Roll each chilled ball in the pistachios, pressing gently so they stick all over.
  5. Arrange on a platter and drizzle lightly with honey before serving.

Notes

Pulse the pistachios in short bursts so you get crumbs, not paste.
