These goat cheese balls are small bites with big attitude. Fig jam, prosciutto, and chives bring a trifecta of flavor and texture. Serve with crackers, cocktails, or add to a fruit and cheese board.
In a mixing bowl, add cream cheese, goat cheese, and fig preserves. Mix until fully combined. Fold in prosciutto and chives.
Using a small scoop, portion the cheese mixture into 20-22 small balls. (I used a scoop that holds 2 teaspoons). Refrigerate until firm, approx. 1 hour.
When firm, roll the balls into the finely chopped walnuts and place on a serving platter. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
The cheese balls can be made 2-3 days in advance. Form the cheese balls, but wait to roll them in the nuts until you are ready to serve. This prevents the nuts from becoming soft and losing their crunch.
