- Honey, chopped roasted pistachios and freshly ground pepper, for serving
- 3 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs), lightly crushed
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Cut the goat cheese log into 16 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Refrigerate the balls on a wax paper–lined baking sheet until firm, about 10 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the balls to a paper towel–lined plate and season with salt. Transfer the cheese balls to a platter, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pistachios and pepper. Serve hot.
