How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and spread the pine nuts on a baking sheet. Roast them for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Once roasted, set them aside to cool.
Step 2
Allow the goat cheese, feta, and cream cheese to come to room temperature for easier mixing. Zest the lemon. In a large bowl, combine the goat cheese, feta, cream cheese, parsley, chives, thyme, and lemon zest. Using a hand mixer, blend the ingredients until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and uniform.
Step 3
Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands. The size can be adjusted according to your preference. Roll each cheese ball in the roasted pine nuts, ensuring an even coating. The pine nuts will add a delightful crunch to every bite.
Step 4
Place the coated balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. Once chilled, they are ready to be served. They pair perfectly with your favorite low-carb crackers. Enjoy!
