GOAT CHEESE SAUCE



Goat Cheese Sauce image

I really wanted my husband to try goat cheese, so the other night I asked him if he wanted scalloped potatoes in a cheese sauce; he said 'yes,' and this is what I made. Afterwards he said I would definitely need to make this again, as he had four helpings. When I told him that it was goat cheese all he could say was 'REALLY?' and kept eating. I would say this was a winner; how about you? Just pour finished sauce over your choice of pasta, potatoes, or whatever you like.

HERBED GOAT CHEESE BITES



Herbed Goat Cheese Bites image

This was a great way for me to use up the trimmings from my herb garden. The bites kept very well, completely submerged in the evoo for two weeks, so far. Lovely to have on hand, and the olive oil takes on a nice flavor, making it a useful plus for salad dressing, once all the goat cheese is gone.

Provided by Chef Edlear

Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 18 balls

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces goat cheese
2 ounces room temperature cream cheese
2 tablespoons basil chiffonade
2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons minced sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
extra virgin olive oil, to cover

Steps:

  • Mash together with a fork the goat cheese, cream cheese, herbs, tomatoes, salt and pepper.
  • Chill this mixture in the refrigerator for a while to make it easier to work with.
  • Roll small scoops of the goat cheese mix in your hands to make smooth balls.
  • Put the balls in a clean jar, and completely cover with the evoo. Store in the refrigerator for at least 1 day, to give the flavors time to develop.
  • Serve on a cheese platter, or with baguette, crackers, crudites.
  • The oil makes a wonderful addition to a salad dressing!

Tips:

  • Keep ingredients very cold until using. This will help the sauce emulsify properly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
  • Taste the sauce as you make it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice depending on your personal preference.
  • Serve the sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Herbed goat cheese sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used as a dip for vegetables, a spread for sandwiches, or a topping for grilled meats or fish. It is also a great way to use up leftover goat cheese. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give this herbed goat cheese sauce a try.
