This one was the result of
resurrecting a dead idea from yesterday. I just couldn't get the creative juices flowing yesterday, but today was a new day. I started with a mixture of goat cheese, duck
confit, cracked black pepper, and chive. Today I added some thin strips of prosciutto and used a small scoop to portion small balls of the cheese mix. I used fine
panko bread crumbs to double bread the cheese. The sauce is exactly what it says, a nice black truffle product I received from someone who has not yet
acquired a taste for the mushroom, and some nice honey. I used some very finely
chiffinade sage to compliment the dish and add a touch of color.
