Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

three 3.5-ounce logs of mild soft goat cheese such as Montrachet
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 large garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped pistachio nuts, toasted lightly and cooled
1/4 cup thinly sliced chives plus chive blades for garnish
1 loaf of French bread, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and toasted lightly
