Goat Cheese Bacon Balls
Report
These Goat Cheese Bacon Balls are, admittedly, a little bit fancy for a football game, but they are fun. Also, they're kind of tasty. I mean, it's cheese covered in bacon. Yes, please. Pass the bacon covered cheese and back away slowly. Mama's hungry.

Ingredients
- 6 lices Bacon
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped thyme or basil divided
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup pecans
Instructions
- Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pat the slices to remove excess grease.
- While the bacon is cooking, whiz the goat cheese, cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of herbs, and black pepper in the food processor. Whiz until creamy and well-mixed, then form small balls, about the size of the tip of your thumb.
- Place balls on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Put in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up a little more.
- Clean out the food processor. Crumble in the cooled bacon, the remaining tablespoon of herbs, and the pecans. Whiz until very fine and crumbly; it should be as fine as your food processor will make it.
- Take the cheese balls out of the freezer and roll them in the bacon mixture, pressing it in with your fingers if it doesn't immediately stick.
- Place the balls in a container on their sides and refrigerate until serving. Serve on toothpicks or with crackers.
