Mary's Jalapeno Hotwheels

Goat Cheese Log (I use an 11 Oz Silver Goat Log from Trader Joe's)

1 can or jar of Sliced Jalapeno Rings (sizes vary among brands)
If you find them in a jar, pick the one that has the larger slices in it. I like the Montecito brand from Smart & Final.

1 or 2 Tablespoons Finely Sliced Chives

Sprinkle of Garlic Powder and or Chile Lemon powder or Paprika

Rinse & Dry Jalapeno rings. Arrange on a plate in a circle, single layer. Slice about 1/2 of the Goat Cheese log into 1/4" slices or so. Cut each slice into quarters. Take each quarter, squeeze it slightly then roll into a little ball. Place the ball on top of one of the Jalapeno rings. You'll need to adjust the size of your balls (Lol) depending on the size of your cheese slices and the Jalapenos. Repeat til the plate is filled. Top with any of the garnishes you desire.

Cover with a plastic or paper plate. I usually use 2 sturdy Chinette paper plates and staple or tape the top one to the bottom one to secure for traveling to a party. Keep flat during transit.

This is a great little appetizer for or Cocktail party or a Potluck. Can be made hours ahead or even overnite.
