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.
