Pecan and Goat Cheese Marbles

These sophisticated pecan and goat cheese marbles offer a delightful contrast of textures and flavours, making them an ideal choice for your next gathering. The creamy, tangy goat cheese is subtly seasoned with woody rosemary and citrusy coriander seeds, then encased in a crunchy coating of toasted, salted pecans. Choosing high-quality ingredients is key here, as the simplicity of the recipe allows the earthy notes of the nuts and the sharpness of the cheese to really shine through.

As a versatile vegetarian appetiser, these bite-sized morsels are as beautiful to look at as they are delicious to eat. Each marble is served on a fresh parsley leaf, providing a vibrant pop of colour and a hit of herbal freshness that cuts through the richness of the cheese. They can be prepared ahead of time, allowing you to host with ease while offering a healthy, homemade snack that pairs perfectly with a crisp white wine.

Ingredients for Pecan and Goat Cheese Marbles

  • 230g pecans (110g )

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/2 teaspoons sugar

  • 1 (300g) log soft goat cheese

  • 1 teaspoon minced rosemary

How to make Pecan and Goat Cheese Marbles

Preheat oven to 204°C with rack in upper third.

Toss pecans with butter, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoons salt, then toast in a 4-sided sheet pan until fragrant and a shade darker, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cool completely.

Pulse pecans in a food processor just until finely chopped, then transfer to a wide shallow bowl.

Stir together goat cheese, rosemary, coriander, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper until combined well. Form teaspoons of cheese mixture into marbles between your palms, then roll in pecans to coat and roll between your palms again briefly. Transfer to a plate.

Put a parsley leaf under each cheese marble and spear together with a wooden pick.
