Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil
36 (1/2-inch-thick) slices baguette
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 11-ounce log soft fresh goat cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or Meyer lemon olive oil
Fresh herb sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy baking sheets. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread slices. Bake until the crostini are pale golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir the herbs, lemon zest, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Using about 2 teaspoons of cheese for each, form the goat cheese into 1-inch diameter balls. Roll the cheese balls in the herb mixture to coat completely. Arrange the cheese balls on a platter. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over and around the cheese balls. Serve with the crostini. Garnish with herb sprigs.
  • The crostini and cheese balls can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store the crostini in an airtight container at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate the cheese balls.

Time 15m

Yield 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 10-ounce log goat cheese
3/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons beer, such as Heist Brewery Hive Five

Steps:

  • Add the goat cheese, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, thyme and pepper to a stand mixer fitted with the beater attachment. Mix on low speed until you have a smooth, blended paste, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the mixer bowl and mix again. With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the lemon juice and beer; mix until all of the liquid is absorbed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix one last time to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated and evenly dispersed.

HERBED GOAT CHEESE

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (6-ounce) creamy goat cheese disks, such as Coach Farm
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Minced fresh dill
Julienned fresh basil leaves
Crushed red pepper flakes
Good olive oil
Bread or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Find a small, wide-mouth canning jar or small glass vase (3 1/2 inches in diameter by 4 inches high), just large enough to hold the two goat cheeses on top of each other with a little room to spare. Cut each cheese in half horizontally, making 2 rounds from each. (A piece of dental floss makes this easier.)
  • Place half of the first disk flat in the jar, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then with 1/2 teaspoon dill, 1 teaspoon basil, and a few red pepper flakes, and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Place another disk of cheese on top and repeat the seasonings, herbs, and oil. Continue with the remaining cheese disks, piling one on top of the other with oil and seasonings in between. When all the disks are stacked and seasoned, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top. Cover and set aside at room temperature for one hour or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Serve at room temperature with bread or crackers for people to help themselves.

HERBED GOAT CHEESE WITH GARLIC CONFIT



Herbed Goat Cheese with Garlic Confit image

This silky puree is just one more way to enjoy fresh goat cheese, which is a favorite of mine. It can be served with toasted bread and sun-dried tomatoes for a quick hors d'oeuvre, or paired with a salad of fresh greens for an appealing first course. It's also irresistible slathered on a turkey or grilled portobello sandwich. This puree is similar to the garlic goat cheese filling for my Eggplant Roulades (p. 303), but the addition of fresh basil, herbes de Provence, and chives gives it a style all its own.

Yield makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup (about 1/2 recipe) Garlic Confit (p. 193)
1 teaspoon oil from Garlic Confit
1 cup fresh goat cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence, optional
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare Garlic Confit.
  • Soften the goat cheese in a small bowl by stirring it with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic confit and garlic oil, along with the cheese, basil, herbes de Provence, if using, chives, and salt and pepper, to taste, and stir until combined. Set aside for about 1/2 hour at room temperature (or longer, in the refrigerator) to allow the flavors to blend.
