Happy Memorial Day!
If you are looking for a last minute appetizer, I’ve got one for you!
I’ve only had goat cheese once before. It’s one of those things that I tried once and wanted to use more often, but I got stuck back in my “safe” mode and haven’t used it since. So I was thrilled when I found out that this month’s cheese from Ile de France would be goat cheese!
I wanted to do something simple with the cheese that would really made the goat cheese the star, so I picked this simple goat cheese spread to make. It’s a perfect little appetizer when spread on a toasted baguette. And the bonus is that it only takes minutes to make, which makes it perfect if you are scurrying to find an appetizer to take to a Memorial Day get-together today!
For more information on this cheese, including other recipes and even videos – head over to the Ile de France website.

I’ve yet to “cook” with goat cheese myself. I know I’ve had it in a few salads but can’t remember what it tastes like. I’ll have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing!

oh my goodness, this is good. i had to bring a “cheese and crackers” thing for a local election (us pollworkers have to eat, after all) and made this. my parsley plants in the garden aren’t big enough yet to take a lot of leaves, so i used dried parsley for the spread and a few freshly-picked leaves for garnish. served it with toasted baguette rounds. yum, yum!!!

These look really good. I love goat cheese. I think the more that you use the more in love you will become.

Goat cheese is the BEST! And you can’t beat it with sundried tomatoes!
Mrs. L says
I love goat cheese, but alas, my husband does not. Which means that I rarely buy it or cook with it which is a shame, as I love the stuff. I’m thinking no harm in making this and keeping it all to myself then right?
Kevin says
Goat cheese is so good and combining it with sundried tomatoes would make an excellent spread or even a dip.
