Ingredients
Cream cheese and chive balls
- 250 g firm cream cheese (e.g. Mon Chou)
- 2 tbsp cream
- ½ tsp fine mustard
- ½ red sweet pepper
- 70 g chives
- 14 half walnuts
- salt and pepper
Preparation method
- Stir together the cream cheese, cream and mustard in a bowl to loosen the mixture. Cut the sweet pepper in half, remove the seeds and slice the flesh into 6 mm cubes. Add to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Chop the chives as finely as possible and place in a shallow bowl. Use a teaspoon or a melon baller to make 14 equal sized balls of the cream cheese mixture. Press half a walnut into the centre of each ball. Roll each ball through the chopped chives to coat. Repeat the steps above to make another 13 balls.
