Instructions

Line a plate or small tray with wax paper.
Place nuts in a shallow dish.
Scoop a heaping 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese and press a piece of dried apricot (or fig) into the center.
Wrap the cheese around the dried fruit to form a ball.
Roll the ball in the chopped nuts to create a crust; set on the plate or tray.
Repeat with remaining goat cheese, dried fruit and nuts.

Make Ahead Tip

Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Scaling Disclaimer: EatingWell recipes are tested extensively in the EatingWell Test Kitchen. EatingWell cannot guarantee a recipe that has been scaled to make a different number of servings from the original. Also note that scaling only applies to the ingredient measurements: no adjustment is made to the recipe instructions, so pan sizes and cooking times and ingredient amounts referred to in the text of the recipe only apply to the original number of servings.

Gluten-Free Disclaimer: We have verified that these recipes do not include the following gluten-containing ingredients: wheat (all varieties, including spelt and kamut, wheat germ or bran and other forms of wheat protein), rye, barley (in all forms, including malt, malt flavoring, malt vinegar and malt extract), oats, triticale or beer/ale. However, many processed foods, such as broths, soy sauce and other condiments, may contain hidden sources of gluten. If a recipe calls for a packaged (e.g., canned) ingredient, we recommend that you carefully read the label to be sure it does not contain a hidden source of gluten.
