This simple recipe for easy goat cheese truffles is the quick and scrumptious appetizer recipe you’ve been looking for!  Grab some goat cheese and get ready for them to disappear.

Tis the season for adorable little nibbles, and these cute little goat cheese truffles are just about as easy as things get when it comes to nibbles.  Creamy goat cheese formed into balls that you roll in spiced breads crumbs and pop on a plate.

It gives cheese and crackers a whole new festive look, don’t you think?  Let’s make them!

You obviously need to start with the very best goat cheese you can find.  If you live anywhere near Manchester Vermont, the best goat cheese I’ve ever tasted can be found at Hildene, where they have a herd of adorable Nubian goats whose main job is making the best goat cheese on earth.

I mean, seriously.  Can’t you stand it?  

And if you don’t live near Manchester Vermont, I also love the widely available Vermont Creamery goat cheese, which is probably waiting for you in your supermarket right this very minute.

Once you have your mitts on whatever goat cheese you acquire, break it off into roughly one inch pieces and roll it up into little truffle size balls and line them up on a plate to await the bread crumb coating.  

And that coating is as easy as whirling a slice or two of bread in your food processor and sautéing it with some olive oil, salt and pepper until the crumbs are golden brown and crispy.

Easy goat cheese truffles, all ready to be passed around to your very lucky guests.

Do you have a favorite speedy holiday appetizer?  We are having a tree trimming party, Christmas Eve dinner and a tailgate party to watch the Clemson/Notre Dame football game all in the space of one week, so tell me in the comments – I need all the help I can get! :)

Description

This simple recipe for easy goat cheese truffles is the quick and scrumptious appetizer recipe you’ve been looking for!  Grab some goat cheese and get ready for them to disappear.


Ingredients

  • 8 ounces of your favorite goat cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1–2 slices of bread, any kind
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Break off small pieces (about 1 inch or so) of the goat cheese and roll them between your palms to make little balls.  Place on a cookie sheet or plate while you make the bread crumbs.
  2. Whirl the bread in your food processor for a few seconds until it is in fine crumbs.
  3. Pour the olive oil into a skillet and heat over medium high heat.  Add the bread crumbs and stir until they are a nice crispy golden brown.  Pour into a shallow bowl and stir in a pinch each of salt and pepper and let them cool down for about 5 -10 minutes.  Stir in parsley.
  4. Roll the goat cheese truffles in the bread crumbs, pressing them in slightly, and arrange on a pretty plate.  If you are not serving them right away (or if you want them to have a firmer consistency), pop them in the fridge.

    We love us some goat cheese at our house! The youngest teen’s favorite way to eat it is schmeared on slightly toasted baguette slices with a dollop of a pear spread I make with pears from our trees. I may be able to entice her to try it in another form with these little gems. Looks like a good addition to a happy-hour supper spread!

        It’s pretty easy. But it involves CANNING. Maybe this is the year you overcome that fear. :)
