Whipped Goat Cheese Crostini with Balsamic-Roasted Grapes image

Everyone who knows me, knows I am a sucker for a cheese board. I love the combination of rich and nutty cheese with the delicate sweetness of fruit. Cheese boards are an entertaining staple for me, but when I want to change it up, I opt for this dish of creamy, velvety whipped goat cheese and juicy balsamic-roasted grapes with crunch from garlic-thyme crostini. Whether it's just you and a friend or you're entertaining a crowd, this dish is sure to be a hit!

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
3 cups stemmed seedless grapes (red or green)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 or 6 sprigs thyme, plus 1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves, and whole leaves for garnish
1 baguette, sliced 3/4 inch thick on a bias
2 medium cloves garlic, grated
One 11-once log goat cheese, at room temperature
1 teaspoon honey
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil and set aside for the crostini.
  • Toss together the grapes and the 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on another rimmed baking sheet; season with kosher salt and pepper. Top with the sprigs of thyme. Roast on the upper oven rack until the grapes blister, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk to combine the 1/4 cup olive oil with half of the chopped thyme, half of the garlic, a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds pepper in a small bowl. Brush onto the tops of the baguette slices and place on the oiled baking sheet. While the grapes roast, bake the baguette slices on the lower oven rack for 5 minutes.
  • Combine the goat cheese with the lemon zest, honey, remaining 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme and grated garlic and a few grinds pepper in a food processor. Process until well combined, about 1 minute. Stream in the heavy cream with the machine running and process until the goat cheese is aerated and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Remove the grapes and bread from the oven and set the oven to broil. Flip the crostini. Remove and discard the sprigs of thyme from the grapes and carefully toss the grapes with the balsamic vinegar. Return the grapes to the upper oven rack and the crostini to the lower rack and broil until the grapes are caramelized and the bread is toasted, about 5 minutes -- watch closely, as broilers vary.
  • To plate, spread the whipped goat cheese in a shallow bowl, top with the grapes and drizzle with any juices from the baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, thyme leaves and pepper. Place on a platter with the crostini and enjoy.

PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATOES AND GOAT CHEESE



Pasta With Fresh Tomatoes and Goat Cheese image

This pasta's sauce comes together using the same trifecta found in lemon-ricotta pasta: a juicy fruit, a creamy cheese and a salty cheese. This recipe makes good use of those summer tomatoes with juices just barely contained by their thin skins. The creamy cheese is goat cheese, whose tang balances the sweetness of the tomatoes. Parmesan adds salty depth, while herbs and red-pepper flakes complete the dish. For a more filling pasta, feel free to add shrimp, corn or green beans to the boiling pasta in the last few minutes of cooking.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
2 pounds very ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more as needed
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, coarsely grated, plus more as needed
1 pound fusilli or another spiral pasta
1 (4-ounce) log goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, thyme, red-pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mash with a fork or potato masher until tomatoes are juicy. Stir in the Parmesan. Set aside while the pasta cooks, or up to 2 hours at room temperature.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • To the bowl of tomatoes, add the goat cheese and 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water. Stir until the cheese is mostly melted. Add the pasta and stir vigorously until the noodles are well coated. Add more pasta water as needed until the sauce coats the noodles. Season to taste with additional Parmesan and red-pepper flakes.

ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC TOMATOES AND GOAT CHEESE



Asparagus With Balsamic Tomatoes and Goat Cheese image

Cut this recipe out of Cooking Light Magazine...Made it for dinner and it was fabulous....Putting it here for safe keeping...

Provided by CIndytc

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb asparagus, trimmed
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups halved grape tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cook asparagus in boiling water 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.
  • 2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and garlic; cook 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar; cook 3 minutes. Stir in salt.
  • 3. Arrange asparagus on a platter; top with tomato mixture. Sprinkle with goat cheese and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your crisps are bursting with flavor.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A cheap balsamic vinegar will not have the same depth of flavor as a more expensive one.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the tomatoes will not roast evenly.
  • Roast the tomatoes until they are slightly caramelized. This will give them a slightly sweet and smoky flavor.
  • Use a sturdy bread for the crisps. A soft bread will not hold up well to the toppings.
  • Spread the goat cheese evenly over the bread. This will help to prevent the goat cheese from becoming too thick and overpowering.
  • Top the crisps with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include arugula, roasted red peppers, and crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

These balsamic roasted tomato and goat cheese crisps are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a light meal. The combination of sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors is sure to please everyone.
