Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz plain goat cheese softened
  • 3 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 slices prosciutto finely chopped
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup roasted pistachios very finely chopped
  • 2 slices prosciutto cut into 12 pieces
  • 12 Castelvetrano olives

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the softened goat cheese and cream cheese until completely smooth.
  2. Add the finely chopped prosciutto, orange zest, and fresh thyme. Mix until evenly combined.
  3. Portion the mixture into 12 equal pieces and roll into smooth balls.
  4. Roll each ball in the finely chopped pistachios, pressing gently so they adhere and fully coat the surface.
  5. Refrigerate the pistachio-coated balls for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
  6. To assemble, thread one olive onto a toothpick, followed by a folded piece of prosciutto, then the cheese bonbon.
  7. Serve chilled.
