I followed the recipe exactly and the goat cheese balls turned out really oily. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These were really bland. I think they needed more herbs and spices.

I thought these were just okay. I've had better goat cheese balls before.

These were a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a different brand of goat cheese than the recipe called for.
