Ok, so an apparent theme of this Thanksgiving has arisen and it’s personal-sized appetizers and desserts. I made these balls, the mini apple tarts I shared last week, and the strawberry parfaits I’m sharing next week. Mini is in?
These little mini balls are just the right size to pop into your mouth, and since they’re covered in pistachio they don’t even need crackers. Whoo. Taking one of my favorite appetizers – a cheese ball – and making it less messy FTW!

Personal Pistachio Goat Cheese Balls
4 – 6 ounces goat cheese
2 – 3 Tbsp. snipped fresh chives
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. granulated onion powder
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/4 – 1/3 cup pistachios
First, make your pistachio dust by processing the nuts in a food processor or blender until tiny.
In a medium bowl, combine all the other ingredients and mix with your hands to combine.
Form into small balls – mine were about 1 ounce each – and roll in the pistachio dust to coat.
Chill a few hours to set up.
Serves 8 as an appetizer in a spread of a few appetizers comfortably
