Method

  • step 1

    Place the rindless soft goat’s cheese in a bowl and roughly mash with a splash extra-virgin olive oil and season to taste. Take small spoonfuls and roll into bite-sized balls. Chill, covered on a baking sheet until ready to use. Roll in coverings of your choice; crushed pink peppercorns, white and black toasted sesame seeds, snipped fresh chives or cayenne pepper all work well. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve, with cocktail sticks.

  • step 2

    Make them ahead; the rolled and coated balls will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to a day.

I fear that they really just dont ever look as good as they do in the picture, it really is difficult to make them so flawlessly covered- unless you really have a lot of ingredients to play with, and potentially waste. Also..it may be somewhat over powering to have a too large a ball in one go. I'd…
