Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces soft goat cheese (chèvre), room temperature
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
- Optional Toppings: Chopped pistachios, toasted walnuts, dried cranberries, fresh thyme
Instructions
- Place the room temperature goat cheese, heavy cream, olive oil, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a food processor.
- Process the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and light, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Taste the whipped goat cheese and adjust salt or pepper if necessary.
- Transfer the creamy goat cheese appetizer to a shallow serving bowl.
- Drizzle the top generously with 2 tablespoons of honey.
- Add your desired toppings, such as chopped nuts or cranberries, for texture and color.
- Serve immediately with crackers, crostini, or fresh vegetables for a gourmet cheese spread.
Notes
- For the best texture, let your goat cheese sit out for at least 30 minutes before whipping.
- If you do not have a food processor, you can use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, but you may need slightly more liquid to achieve a smooth consistency.
- This tangy cheese spread is excellent served alongside sliced apples or pears.
