This week, I bought a big honkin' log of goat cheese. I like to spread it on triscuits for a quick snack or even lunch. But, I also use it for two of my favorite recipes:
Roll goat cheese in chopped dried cranberries and pistachios. Spread on crackers. This is a crowd-pleaser. It's great any time a year, but the colors are perfect for Christmas.
The second is fried or baked goat cheese. Simply slice the goat cheese when it is very cold. Dip in egg batter. I have even used egg-beaters. Dip in panko bread crumbs. And, bake at about 350 degrees, turning once until slightly soft and browned. Or, fry. When I say "fry," I mean spray with Pam, and cook until browned.
I like to serve on salad with balsamic vinegar. Adding rotisserie chicken to the salad doesn't hurt either.
Mmmmm. My lunches at work lately have been spring mix with pickled beets, apple, goat cheese with balsamic vinaigrette.
