Ingredients
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 50 grams chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, and lemon zest. Use a fork to mash and mix the cheeses until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Finely chop the parsley and dill, then set aside. Divide the herbs into two portions: one for mixing into the cheese mixture and one for coating the truffles later.
Step 3
Add half of the chopped parsley and dill to the cheese mixture along with the cracked black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the herbs are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, take about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form truffles.
Step 5
In a shallow dish, combine the reserved parsley, dill, chopped walnuts, and paprika. Roll each cheese truffle in this coating mixture until completely covered.
Step 6
Place the coated truffles on a serving platter or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up before serving.
Step 7
Serve chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
