My kids love appetizers and I have to say I don’t blame them. Whether we are getting together for a pot luck or Sunday dinner one my favorite appetizers to make is nut crusted goat cheese. It’s easy and tastes amazing lightly grilled in a Bull Grill.
Using a Pit Mitt is a great and easy way to grab hot items from a hot grill.

6. Dredge goat cheese pucks in almond flour and shake off excess.
7. Dip slices one at a time into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
8. Then place cheese pucks in the nut mixture, covering the entire surface with nuts. Press the nuts lightly into the cheese. Place on a lightly greased cast iron and repeat process until all the goat cheese has been coasted in nuts.
9. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the buts turn dark golden brown but do not burn. Check-in on the grill process every 5 minutes until done.
