Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz creamy goat cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 C. almond flour
- 1/2 C. bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
- Olive oil
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/4 mango
- 1/4 papaya
- 1/8 C. pineapple juice
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the goat cheese, almond flour, bread crumbs and dried thyme.
- Place the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Remove and use a small 2″ cookie scoop to roll the cheese mixture into balls.
- Place each cheese ball on a plate or small cookie sheet.
- Once all the cheese is rolled into balls, place them in the fridge or freezer while heating the oil and making the tropical sauce.
- Place the mango, papaya and pineapple juice in a food processor and blend.
- Pour into a small dish and set aside.
- Heat the oil on medium/high heat. Remove the cheese balls from the fridge/freezer and cook 2-3 at a time. Continually turning them. I found it was easier to lift the pan up and let them roll around. Cook a minute and roll around again.
- Remove from the pan and serve with the tropical sauce.
