Goat Cheese / Gorgonzola Truffles

4 ounces cream cheese, softened 
1 (4-oz.) container crumbled Gorgonzola cheese or Goat Cheese
2 teaspoons finely chopped onion 
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon 

Apple and pear slices
Grapes]

Preparation

1. Beat first 5 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until well combined. Cover tightly, and chill at least 1 hour or until firm (can chill up to 3 days).

2. Roll cheese mixture into 3/4-inch-round balls. Roll each ball in bacon. Serve immediately, or cover and chill until ready to serve. If chilled, let stand 30 minutes before serving. Serve with apple and pear slices and grapes.


*NOTE I have made these then skewered them with a green grape on toothpicks for an appetizer. It went really well with wine tasting too!
