How to make Pecan and Goat Cheese Marbles

Preheat oven to 204°C with rack in upper third.

Toss pecans with butter, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoons salt, then toast in a 4-sided sheet pan until fragrant and a shade darker, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cool completely.

Pulse pecans in a food processor just until finely chopped, then transfer to a wide shallow bowl.

Stir together goat cheese, rosemary, coriander, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper until combined well. Form teaspoons of cheese mixture into marbles between your palms, then roll in pecans to coat and roll between your palms again briefly. Transfer to a plate.

Put a parsley leaf under each cheese marble and spear together with a wooden pick.
