In a little under a week many of us will be entertaining guests to ring in the New Year. Hello 2013! Here is a SUPER easy appetizer idea that tastes delicious and will look beautiful on your table. You can customize the basic idea to fit whatever ingredients you have on hand or whatever flavors you prefer.
Simply buy a few small logs of goat cheese. You can usually find these in the deli section of most major grocery stores. Roll the logs in herbs, nuts or dried fruit to add your own custom flavors. I made honey nut, rosemary and sesame seed, and cranberry.
Simply pulse the ingredients in a food processor for a few minutes. Lay the ingredients out on a plate and gently press and roll the goat cheese over the ingredients. Just before serving drizzle on a little honey or olive oil, depending on the flavor.
Serve with crackers, apple slices and additional jams or jellies if you like. Have fun making up your own flavors! xo. Emma




Oh how fancy looking! I'd definitely try the cranberry one, it looks so lovely and tasty!

I just had a cranberry goat cheese from Costco, last night at a party, and my friend and I were talking about how to make one. Thanks for sharing.

I love goat cheese on my toast in the morning, I've never really done a ton with it other than cheese balls on my spinach salads too. That' super good too!
