Roasted Red Pepper + Bacon Goat Cheese Truffles.

By harvard88

Ingredients

• 8 ounces plain goat cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup chopped roasted red pepper
• 3 slices thick-cut bacon, fried and chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 3/4 cup pistachios, chopped and crushed
• 1 /2 cup chopped roasted red pepper
• 1 /4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 /4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 3 /4 cup pistachios, chopped and crushed

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine softened goat cheese with peppers, bacon, garlic salt and pepper. Using a large spoon, spatula or even your hands, mix and stir until combined well and everything seems equally distributed through the goat cheese.

Roll the goat cheese into 1/2-1 inch balls (or smaller or larger, depending on your preference), then roll through the pistachios to coat. Set on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. These can be made well ahead of time – I’d say at least about 3 days.

Store in the fridge!
