Categories     Appetizer

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely ground California walnuts, plus 9 California walnut pieces for garnish
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
5 ounces soft goat cheese such as Montrachet
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus additional chives for garnish
1 teaspoon finely diced red bell pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and butter 18 gem tins (2 tablespoons each). In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, ground California walnuts, the melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and stir until thoroughly combined. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the walnut mixture into each mold and press down into the bottom of the molds. With an electric mixer beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the goat cheese and beat until creamy. Add the egg and beat until well combined. Add the chives, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Divide the goat cheese mixture between the molds and smooth the tops. Set a walnut piece on top of nine of the cheesecakes. Top the remaining cheesecakes with the diced red peppers. Bake until puffed, about 15 minutes. Let the cheesecakes cool on a rack for 5 minutes, then unmold. Garnish with chives and serve warm.

These cheesecakes are not worth the effort. They're too difficult to make and they don't taste that good.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cheesecakes turned out terrible. They were overcooked and the goat cheese flavor was very strong.

These cheesecakes were a waste of time and money. They were dry and crumbly and the goat cheese flavor was overpowering.

I was disappointed with these cheesecakes. The goat cheese flavor was too strong for my taste and the cheesecakes were too dense.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, but I loved these cheesecakes. The goat cheese flavor was very subtle and the cheesecakes were very creamy.

These cheesecakes are the perfect make-ahead dessert. I can make them a day or two ahead of time and they're still just as delicious.

These cheesecakes are a great way to use up leftover goat cheese. I always have a few containers of goat cheese in my fridge and these cheesecakes are a great way to use them up.

I was a bit skeptical about using goat cheese in a cheesecake, but I was pleasantly surprised. The goat cheese gave the cheesecake a tangy flavor that I really enjoyed.
