SMASHED ROOTS AND TUBERS WITH CHEVRE (GOAT CHEESE)

Smashed Roots and Tubers With Chevre (Goat Cheese) image

Been serving this with our holiday turkey for the last 10 years or so. Very good in place of plain mashed potatoes. Try to find a stronger flavor chevre (the more aged, the stronger). If you prefer a creamier texture, add more chevre or some milk while mashing.

Tips:

Choose the right goat cheese: For the best results, use a high-quality goat cheese that is fresh and has a mild, tangy flavor. Avoid goat cheeses that are too soft or crumbly, as they will not hold their shape well when melted.
Use a variety of toppings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings for your goat cheese recipes. Some popular options include honey, nuts, fruits, and herbs. You can also use goat cheese to make savory dishes, such as salads, pizzas, and pasta dishes.
Don't overcook the goat cheese: Goat cheese is a delicate cheese that can easily become overcooked. When cooking goat cheese, use low heat and cook it for just a short period of time. This will help to prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery or tough.
Serve goat cheese at room temperature: Goat cheese is best served at room temperature. This will allow the flavors of the cheese to fully develop. If you are serving goat cheese cold, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Goat cheese is a versatile and delicious cheese that can be used in a variety of recipes. Whether you are looking for a simple appetizer or a more complex main course, there is sure to be a goat cheese recipe that you will enjoy.
