I think I need to start making more appetizers.
And more Greek food.
I love Greek food. I think it cures all things.
Or at least I wish it cured all things. I am currently not feeling so good. I have that whole sore throat, achy thing going on. Complete with the chills and a to-do list the size of Santa’s naughty and nice list. To be honest, it is not that bad. I just really hate sore throats. I think sore throats and the flu are maybe some of the worst things ever.
So anyway, here’s the deal with these cheesy, salty and delicious truffles.
They were supposed to be red and green and super pretty.
But they turned out to be more pink than red.
I had this pretty little cheesy truffle picture in my head, but to be honest they really looked nothing like the ones your see here. However… these just tasted too good not to share with you.
These truffles are pretty much all my favorite Greek foods rolled into one tiny ball.
It is a great thing.
They are really easy and can be made days in advance, which I think is pretty awesome. I mean anything I can get ready ahead of time is good. This means no rushing around pouring chips in bowls as people are arriving.
Oh, and I should mention, as a kid this was my job while my mom was in the shower and guests were piling through our door. Somehow, I was always the one stuck greeting people. My mom tries, but she can NEVER be less than thirty minutes late to anything……even to her own parties.
So these would be really great appetizers for her, or me, and definitely you. Unfortunately, the only people we entertain these days are snowboarders. It’s really quite pathetic. Whoever you entertain, ladies, gentlemen, boys or girls, most people will really enjoy these. I mean they have loads of feta cheese and are rolled into a cute little ball that is then rolled in pistachios. Plopped on top of pita chips… got to love anything that you can eat with pita chips.
Oh and the only reason I called these truffles was because I saw Rachel Ray do it last year with these goat cheese truffles and ever since I have wanted to make cheese truffles!

We are just going to pretend that this is red (and not pink). Or better yet, let’s just starting eating them.
Feta and pistachios are two of my favorite foods ever. Could we skip the ball rolling and go straight to scooping the mix into our mouths? Something tells me our peanut butter spoons wouldn’t mind the company of a feta spoon 😉
Haha! YES!! And trust me, that happened!
Oh and feta spoons? So happening!
These truffles are so pretty! And they look awesomely delicious. Ahhh and pistachios. <3
Pinning!
Thanks so much for pinning!! 🙂
I love Greek food too, especially feta. I think these came out really nice:)
Feta is my favorite!! Thanks Liz!
A savory truffle – I love it! I studied abroad in Athens, so I have a real soft spot for Greek food. These look absolutely delicious, and such a fun party appetizer. I hope you feel better!
Thanks Cate!!
These are gorgeous! Too bad that wouldn’t really matter in our home because they’d be gone in like 10 seconds. 😉
Thanks Stephanie!! Hope you are feeling good! 🙂
Holy moly!!! This looks outstanding!
Thanks Liz!
I love appetizers! They are one of my favorite things to make–especially bite size ones. And yeah, totally feel you on the “this was prettier in my head” deal. BUT these are beautiful Tieghan!
I am obsessed with greek food, so this is my fave version.
Thanks Laura! I love greek food!
These have so many of my favorite things packed into an adorable appetizer truffle. They look amazing!
Thanks Megan!
Definitely something which I have to try these days. My brother birthday coming and it will be good reason for little culinary surprise for his friends.
Thank you!
if all your appetizers are going to look like this, then yes PLEASE. More appetizers galore 🙂
Thanks Christine!
After going to Greece this summer, I have been in LOVE with fresh feta and found the best grocery store in NYC that sells it by the block. I’m going straight there to make these!! Great recipe, thanks.
These look and sound wonderful. I’m going to make them for our family Christmas celebration. Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks Toni!
