Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounce package goat cheese (room temperature)
¼ cup fresh dill fronds (plus more for garnishing)
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 small garlic clove (finely grated with a microplane)
1 large pinch red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
pinch of kosher salt
freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a mini food processor. Pulse until just whipped and blended (and the herbs are well-distributed in small, even pieces), scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice if needed. Transfer the goat cheese spread to a serving bowl (I like to place it off-center, as seen in the photos above), using the back of a large spoon to create a divet and swoosh.
  • Just before serving, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and garnish with several dill fronds. This goat cheese spread is best served right away, but can be prepared in advance and stores well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Store in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
  • If you do not have a mini food processor or don't wish to use one: before proceeding, finely chop the herbs (it is especially important for the goat cheese to be at room temperature if mixing by hand) and mix everything together with a spoon or spatula until well incorporated. *I prefer to use a mini food processor, because it is quick, fast, and incorporates a little air into the goat cheese, creating a slightly whipped, lighter texture.

  • Take out your warm bread and spread with the cheese mixture, you can top with a little salsa or warmed pizza sauce. I usually make a bowl of spread, small bowls of sauce & salsa, and serving platter with the bread on it and place on the buffet and let the guests make their own. It is so easy and its also good stuffed inside celery :).
