Goat Cheese Balls

Copycat Goat Cheese Balls. Delicious, creamy cheese bites coated with a blend of almond flour, bread crumbs and thyme. Pair with a sauce of mango, papaya and pineapple. A tasty cheese appetizer just like every one’s favorite restaurant!

Goat Cheese Balls

I have heard about goat cheese balls and I have been dying to try them only I don’t know if any restaurants in my area that serve them. In order to appease that craving, we had to make these goat cheese balls ourselves.

First, they took me a few days to master but I made them. They are not necessarily easy to make so if you want easy, you should move on. Keep in mind that it is important that the breading is lighter. If you want a heavier breading then you should dip more in egg and then the bread crumbs. Follow this cooking tip – when browning, I kept the pan moving and only did a few at a time and let them roll around and brown.

Enjoy!

Goat Cheese Balls

Ingredients:

4 oz creamy goat cheese
1 egg
1/2 C. almond flour
1/2 C. bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
Olive oil

Sauce Ingredients:

1/4 mango
1/4 papaya
1/8 C. pineapple juice
salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Combine the goat cheese, almond flour, bread crumbs and dried thyme.
Place the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Remove and use a small 2″ cookie scoop to roll the cheese mixture into balls.
Place each cheese ball on a plate or small cookie sheet.
Once all the cheese is rolled into balls, place them in the fridge or freezer while heating the oil and making the tropical sauce.
Place the mango, papaya and pineapple juice in a food processor and blend.
Pour into a small dish and set aside.
Heat the oil on medium/high heat. Remove the cheese balls from the fridge/freezer and cook 2-3 at a time. Continually turning them. I found it was easier to lift the pan up and let them roll around. Cook a minute and roll around again.
Remove from the pan and serve with the tropical sauce.

Noah’s Ark Sunday School Craft

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

February 1, 2024 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media, Sunday School

Looking for a fun Sunday School Craft for the Kids? This Noah’s Ark Paper plate is not only easy to make, but adorable. Supplies include markers, paper plates, stickers and foam!

Noah’s Ark Sunday School Craft

Looking for a fun Sunday School Craft? We love this easy paper plate craft using the story of Noah’s Ark in the Bible. Noah’s Ark is the vessel in the Genesis flood narrative by which God spares Noah, his family, and two animals of every kind. You can read the story in Genesis Chapters 6 to 9, otherwise there are some really good Noah’s Ark Books for Kids.

While you read the story, perhaps have a second adult work on this craft with the children. You can give instruction before the story begins.

In this Sunday school lesson, the children learn about Noah and the ark he built according to God’s instructions. The children also learn that it is very important to obey God in all things. Noah loved and obeyed God even when no one else would. God saved Noah. God gave a promise at the end of the book with his rainbow, a promise of peace that God would never destroy the earth again.

One of my favorite songs growing up was the Arky, Arky Song – anyone remember it? During your crafting time, this would be a fun song to sing with the kids! Also consider serving Animals Crackers!

Genesis 6:22 (ESV) “Noah did (…) all that God commanded him.”

Supplies:

1 White Paper Plate (make sure there is no wax layer on the top)
1 Sheet Brown Foam (you can also use brown construction paper)
Animal Stickers—2 of each (get 2 sets if needed, we got our at the Dollar Store)
Markers—red, orange, yellow, green, blue
Stapler (or hot glue gun)

Directions:

Get your makers, paper plate, foam and stickers together.
On the top of the paper plate, color a rainbow with your makers. Start with a thick line of red on the rim of the paper plate, and follow with orange, yellow, green, and then blue.
Lay the paper plate face down on top of the brown foam. Trace a half circle on the foam around the plate. Cut out the foam, and it should look like half the plate. Cut out 3 small circle in the middle of the foam for little porthole windows.
Turn the plate right side up so the rainbow is at the top, and set the brown foam piece on the bottom half the plate.
Use a stapler to staple the foam to the top edge of the plate. Put about 4-5 staples around the edge. If using a hot glue gun, glue along the bottom edge of the plate (where the ark will lay.)
Add the animal stickers. Put some peeking through the portholes, and some on the white plate so it looks like the animals are all on the ark. Don’t forget to make sure to put 2 of the same animals right next to each other since Noah put 2 of each animal on the ark.
Enjoy!
