Directions

Make the cheese base: In a medium bowl, beat together goat cheese, cream cheese, Everything But the Bagel seasoning, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
Form the balls: Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, roll the cheese mixture into 1-inch bite-size balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill for 20 minutes to firm up.
Prepare the coatings:
• In one shallow bowl, combine pistachios, apricots, and thyme.
• In another bowl, combine pecans, cranberries, and rosemary.
Coat the cheese balls: Roll half of the chilled cheese balls in the pistachio-apricot mixture and the other half in the pecan-cranberry mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Serve: Arrange the mini cheese balls on a platter with Stonefire Naan Crisps. Drizzle lightly with honey just before serving if desired.
