Ingredients

  • 11 ounces fresh goat cheese
  • 4 ounces coarsely chopped pisatchio nuts
  • 48 washed and dried baby spinach leaves

Directions

  1. Bring goat cheese to room temperature. Using your hands, roll forty-eight 1/2-inch balls, and place them on a piece of parchment paper. Shake the nuts in a fine mesh sieve to remove dust, then place in a small, shallow bowl. Roll each cheese ball in the nuts to coat evenly.

  2. The cheese balls can be prepared the day before the event. Store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to serve.

  3. To serve, arrange the spinach leaves on a serving tray, and place each cheese ball on a leaf. Serve immediately.

    A bit plain, but they were snapped up by guests who do not like stronger cheeses. While it looked nice, really does not need the spinach leaves.
