Goat Cheese Kisses

By Coppermouse

Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons hazelnuts or pistachios (3/4 ounce), finely chopped
• 6 ounces creamy goat cheese
• 6 dried apricots or dried figs, each cut into quarters

Preparation

Step 1

Line a plate or small tray with wax paper. Place the nuts in a shallow dish. Scoop a heaping 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese and press a piece of dried apricot (or fig) into the center. Wrap the cheese around the dried fruit to form a ball. Roll the ball in the chopped nuts to create a crust; set on the plate or tray. Repeat with the remaining goat cheese, dried fruit and nuts.
