Here is a fun appetizer to start off pretty much any meal, they are easy to make, taste pretty darn great and are just to eat!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

4 oz cream cheese (softened)

2 oz goat cheese

2/3 cup pine nuts

3 tbsp green onions (chopped)

1/2 tsp fresh baby dill (diced)

1/4 tsp fresh taragon (diced)
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder

1/8 tsp paparika

pinch of essence

Kosher salt (to taste)

Fresh crack pepper (to taste)

Topping

2 pinches smoked paparika (over the top)

1 lemons juice freshly squeezed over the top

In a medium mixing bowl mix together all cheesy ball ingredients except pine nuts until mixed well.  Roll into 12-14 balls and sit on piece of wax paper.  Roll each ball in pine nuts until mostly covered and then place on a wax paper covered backing sheet.  Sprinkle smoked paprika over the tops of the cheesy balls, cover with a sheet of wax paper and refrigerate for 20-25 minutes or until ready to eat.  Just before serving squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cheesy balls and enjoy!
