Mini Boursin Cheese Balls
Servings: 12 balls
Equipment
- small 1" scoop
Ingredients
- 5.2 ounce package of Boursin Cheese, any flavor you like.
coating ideas*
- dried dill
- dried tarragon
- dried fine herbes
- dried parsley
- sweet or smoked paprika
- za'atar or sumac
- granulated garlic or onion
- poppy seeds
- black or white sesame seeds
- finely chopped pistachios, walnuts, or pecans
Instructions
- Scoop out small balls of Boursin cheese (I use my 1" cookie scoop which holds about 2 teaspoons) and roll gently into a ball. Boursin is creamy but also a bit crumbly, so use gentle pressure to bring it together into a ball.
- Roll each ball into the coatings of your choice. You can coat them lightly or more thickly, it's up to you. I like to do a combination of greens and red for the holidays.
- Serve the little cheese balls with plain crackers and cheese spreaders.
- Mini Boursin Cheese Balls are best served right after you make them, but they can be refrigerated for a couple of hours ahead of time.
Notes
*Avoid spicy coatings and salty spice blends. I found that dried herbs work better than fresh.
