Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 head garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
salt
black pepper
4 oz goat cheese log ((1 cup))
2 tbsp panko bread crumbs
1 tsp dried tarragon
1 French baguette (sliced)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°. Cut the top off the garlic heads so that the cloves are exposed. Place the heads in a small baking dish.
Drizzle 3 tablespoons of the oil over the tops, allowing it to sink in around the garlic papers. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Bake for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare the goat cheese for baking. In another small baking dish, place the log of goat cheese. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of oil over the cheese, rolling the log to coat.
In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, tarragon, and a little more freshly cracked pepper. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over all sides of the log, turning as necessary.
Bake cheese, uncovered for 30 minutes alongside the garlic.
The garlic cloves will practically pop out of their skins. Spread them on baguette slices along with some goat cheese.

Categories appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
36 (1/2-inch-thick) slices baguette
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 11-ounce log soft fresh goat cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or Meyer lemon olive oil
Fresh herb sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy baking sheets. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread slices. Bake until the crostini are pale golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir the herbs, lemon zest, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Using about 2 teaspoons of cheese for each, form the goat cheese into 1-inch diameter balls. Roll the cheese balls in the herb mixture to coat completely. Arrange the cheese balls on a platter. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over and around the cheese balls. Serve with the crostini. Garnish with herb sprigs.
The crostini and cheese balls can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store the crostini in an airtight container at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate the cheese balls.

Tips:

Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of dried herbs for each tablespoon of fresh herbs.
Don't overmix the goat cheese mixture. Overmixing will make the mixture too runny and difficult to spread.
If you don't have a baking dish that is large enough to hold the goat cheese mixture, you can use two smaller baking dishes.
Be careful not to overcook the goat cheese. The goat cheese is done when it is golden brown and bubbly.
Serve the goat cheese warm with crackers, bread, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Herb garlic baked goat cheese is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It can be made ahead of time and is always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of herbs, garlic, and goat cheese is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this recipe a try.
