Pinot Grigio – Food-Friendly and Versatile

The flavors and characteristics of Pinot Grigio vary depending on where its place of origin with one constant – a clear acidity that makes it ideal for various food pairings. Read on for a rundown of how to best match Pinot Grigio to a delightful appetizer that will impress your friends.

Cheese Pairings for Pinot Grigio

The subtle characteristics of Pinot Grigio shouldn’t be overwhelmed by a harsh, strong-flavored cheese. Fresh cheeses like mozzarella, feta, and goat cheese are ideal for Pinot Grigio because the acid complements the fatty nature of the cheese without either being overpowered by the other.

Goat Cheese Balls

Prep Time: 30 min; Cook Time: 10 min; Total Time: 40 min

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg (whisked)
  • 10 oz. goat cheese (1 package typically)
  • Vegetable oil

For the honey dressing:

  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 TBSP hot sauce
  • 3 tsp dried sage
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine the flour and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl, and add the breadcrumbs to another bowl.
  2. Line a plate or baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper.
  3. Create about two dozen balls from the goat cheese; they’ll be about 1 TBSP each.
  4. Toss each ball in the flour mixture, dip in the egg, and dredge in the breadcrumbs.
  5. Place the battered goat cheese balls in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  6. When ready to fry the goat balls, heat the oil on medium-high heat. Fry the balls in batches for a couple of minutes, turning regularly, until the goat cheese balls are golden brown all over.
  7. Drain on a paper towel on a plate.
  8. Prepare the sauce by mixing the honey, garlic, hot sauce, and sage on the stovetop.
  9. Drizzle the goat cheese balls with honey sauce and lightly salt to serve.
