Warm Sweet And Savoury Goat Cheese Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, parmesan and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a food processor and season with pepper; puree until smooth. Brush a 1-quart baking dish with olive oil, then spread the cheese mixture in the dish, mounding it slightly higher around the edge than in the middle. Bake until golden and heated through, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, chives, vinegar, garlic, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Spoon the tomato mixture on top of the dip. Serve with baguette slices.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the goat cheese, cream cheese, lemon juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Transfer to a 1-quart baking dish or ovenproof skillet, and spread into an even layer. Bake until warmed through and bubbling, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, then add the dates to the bacon fat in the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the insides are warm and the outsides blister, about 1 minute.
• Top the baked cheese with the dates and bacon, and garnish as you wish. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Slice the goat cheese into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. Dip each slice into the egg wash and then into the bread crumbs, being sure the cheese is thoroughly coated. Place the slices on a baking rack set on a sheet pan and chill for at least 15 minutes.
• Heat the oil and butter in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the goat cheese slices and cook on both sides until browned on the outside but not melted inside.

Steps:

• Combine apricots, water, red wine, sugar, 1 table balsamic vinegar, 1 table rosemary and salt in a saucepan bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce heat and simmer until thick, about 20 min stirring occasionally. Transfer to a bowl and place in the fridge to cool.
• While the wine is simmering, toast walnuts in a skillet over medium-medium low heat with butter and salt to taste. Remove from heat and cool when done.
• Combine cream cheese, goat cheese, EVOO, fig jam, salt and pepper remaining balsamic vinegar and rosemary, and about half the toasted walnuts. Mix by hand until smooth and well combined.
• Place cheese mixture in an oven proof dish and form a disk or mound, spoon cold apricot wine reduction over top and sides and sprinkle with remaining walnuts.
• Bake at 300 degrees for 10-15 minutes until heated through. Serve warm with baguette slices, crackers, breadsticks.

Steps:

• Put the seeds and nuts in a frying pan, then gently heat to toast them, removing them from the heat when the seeds start to pop and give off their aroma. Grind fairly coarsely using a pestle and mortar, then season with a little salt.
• Beat the goat's cheese with the milk to soften it, then add a little seasoning if needed. Tip half into a small bowl (glass, if you have one, to show off the layers) and scatter with half the seeds and a few torn mint leaves. Repeat the layer and serve with a bowl of cold radishes and toasted pittas or bread.
