For the canapés, place the cheese, egg, walnuts and breadcrumbs into a bowl. Mix well and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Roll the mixture into eight balls and dredge each ball in flour, then dip into the beaten egg and finally dip into the extra breadcrumbs to coat completely.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the balls and fry for two minutes on each side, until golden-brown all over.
For the honey sauce, mix together the honey, oil and vinegar in a clean bowl.
To serve, spoon the honey sauce onto a plate, top with the canapés and sprinkle with basil.
