Twas fantastic. Made them this evening – made a sriracha & garlic thing to dip the balls into.

The end result was great. I had to add an additional egg and reduce the plantain by half. Would not form anything cohesive.

I buzzed some oats in my cuisinart instead of wheat toast. But I jumped online because I used my smallish-medium cookie dough scoop which I think doubled the batch. After I made the first ball, I smooshed it into a little pattie and put the goat cheese in the center. I put that in the scoop and packed it against my palm, then popped it on the baking sheet. Plus, I sprayed the scoop with no-stick spray. Was a lot of fun & mess! Gotta go clean up the kitchen now…

Is there a substitute for the bread that you would recommend?

so… a) Why did I never think of spiralizing plantains. b) How delish does this look, and c) I’m going to have to try it with feta or boursin (I detest goat cheese). These are so cute and I bet they would also be tasty with mini bocconcinis in the middle too. Yummy!

Haha, I totally agree with you, I could spend hours in Whole Foods. We have one half a mile away from my apartment– sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing lol

My wife is always looking for new was to stuff goat cheese into appetizers, so this will be on the list to try very soon!

(And there’s nothing better than meandering through Whole Foods for hours… I have one near my work, so you can hear someone in my office shouting “Who wants to go to Whole Foods?” at least twice a week.)
