Meiomi Chardonnay with Air Fryer Goat Cheese Balls & Chardonnay Honey Mustard

Ingredients:

Goat Cheese Balls

• 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 large eggs
• 2, 4 oz. logs of goat cheese
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
• Flaky sea salt

Chardonnay Honey Mustard

• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil mayonnaise
• 1 ½ tablespoons Meiomi Chardonnay
• 3 tablespoons honey
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Directions:

1. To make the Chardonnay honey mustard, add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, dried parsley, paprika, and salt. Put the flour and beat the eggs in separate small bowls.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese and honey.
4. Take 1 heaping tablespoon of the cheese and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in the flour, coating evenly. Place the ball in the eggs, making sure it’s completely covered and then transfer it to the bread crumbs and roll until evenly coated. Resubmerge the ball in the egg and toss in bread crumbs again. Repeat until all goat cheese balls are coated.
5. When you’re ready to air fry, spray the goat cheese balls with an oil spray and then place them into air fryer basket at 400°F for 8 minutes.
6. Carefully lift out the fried goat cheese balls and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, fresh parsley, and serve with homemade Chardonnay Honey Mustard.
