Ingredients

• 150 grams blue cheese
• 200 grams cream cheese
• 50 grams butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives
• 100 grams pecans
• 50 grams breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, and butter. Mix thoroughly using a fork or an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Chop the fresh dill and fresh chives finely. Add them to the cheese mixture along with black pepper and honey. Mix again to evenly incorporate the ingredients.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the mixture for easier handling.

Step 4

On a cutting board, finely chop the pecans. Mix the chopped pecans and breadcrumbs in a shallow dish to create the coating.

Step 5

Remove the cheese mixture from the refrigerator. Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop a small portion of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball, about 1-inch in diameter.

Step 6

Roll each cheese ball in the pecan and breadcrumb coating, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks evenly.

Step 7

Repeat the process until all the cheese mixture is used up. Place the finished cheese balls on a serving plate.

Step 8

Serve the Blue Cheese Balls Juustotahna immediately or refrigerate them until ready to serve. They are best enjoyed chilled.
