ENDIVE STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE AND SMOKED SALMON AND CHEESY CHICKEN BON-BONS
The goat cheese base is a favorite go-to of mine for several different appetizers or party starters. It works well for sweet or savory dishes and you can do so many different variations; it works for almost any occasion. You can stuff it into endive or roll it into "truffles"... either way, it is an easy, delicious appetizer that will always impress your guests. For the kids, increase the amount of cream cheese. The Cheesy Chicken Bon-Bons are a great dish for kids as it includes some of their favorites: chicken, ranch dressing and an animal cracker coating. You can substitute canned chicken for fresh and prepared ranch dressing if you don't have time to make everything from scratch.

Steps:
- For the goat cheese filling: Mix the goat cheese, 1/2 cup of the cream cheese, the cream, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, vinegar, 2 tablespoons salt and pepper in the bowl of a mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed until well blended and creamy. Remove half of the goat cheese filling to a separate bowl and add in the remaining 1/2 cup cream cheese. Set aside and chill for the cheesy chicken bon-bons.
- For the salmon stuffed endive: Add the salmon, the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the dill and parsley to the first half of the goat cheese filling. Mix to combine well. Check the seasoning; you may want to add some salt or pepper but that will depend on the flavor your salmon has.
- Transfer the filling into a zip-top bag and cut the tip to make a medium opening, or use a pastry bag with a medium tip. The filling is dense so you need a larger opening to pipe it. You can also use a spoon to fill the endive but piping is faster. Pipe the mixture onto the tip of the endive. Keep the endive chilled until serving time.
- To serve, garnish with a bit of lemon zest, a sprinkle of toasted almonds and a bit of the salmon roe if using on top.
- For the chicken bon-bons: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the chicken thighs on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 35 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F and roast for 10 minutes more (about 15 minutes per pound cooking time, depending on the size of the thighs. To check doneness, pierce the thigh in the thickest part; if the juices run clear, it is likely done). Set aside to cool. Remove the chicken from the bone and mince; not too fine, but not big chunks, either.
- While the chicken is cooling, mix the sour cream, parsley, chives, dill, garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne and a big pinch salt into the reserved goat cheese filling. Add the chopped chicken and chill again.
- Select 15 to 20 of the animal crackers for garnish. Put 2 cups of the remaining animal crackers into a food processor and pulse to make them into fine crumbs. Pour the crumbs onto a plate. Using a very small ice cream scoop (so you have consistent size), scoop the chicken mixture and roll into small balls. Roll in the crumbs and garnish with an animal cracker. Do this final step just before serving so the cracker crumbs don't get too damp.
SALMON AND GOAT CHEESE CREPES
Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk and water. In another bowl, mix flours and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour., Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine goat cheese, red peppers, lemon juice, paprika and garlic; cover and process until blended, 2-3 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use., Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir batter. Pour 1/4 cup batter into center of pan. Quickly lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn crepe over and cook until bottom is cooked, 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed. When cool, stack crepes between pieces of waxed paper or paper towels., Spread 2 tablespoons cheese mixture down center of each crepe. Top with salmon, spinach, capers and dill; roll up. If desired, garnish with additional cheese, capers and dill.

Steps:
- In a bowl, mash the goat cheese with a fork. Add the yogurt, and mix together until smooth. Spread half on one slice of bread, and top with the smoked salmon. Slice the cucumbers very thin, and layer them over the salmon. If desired, season the cucumbers with a little salt and pepper, and squeeze on some lemon juice. Sprinkle the chopped chives or dill over the cucumbers.
- Spread the remaining goat cheese mixture over the other piece of bread. Place on top of the cucumbers, press down and cut the sandwich in half.
Tips:
- When choosing salmon for stuffing, opt for a center-cut fillet that is at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that the fish cooks evenly and remains moist.
- To make the goat cheese filling, use a food processor to combine the cheese, herbs, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. This will help to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the filling.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can also mash the goat cheese with a fork until it is smooth. Just be sure to mix in the herbs and lemon zest thoroughly.
- When stuffing the salmon, be careful not to overstuff it. The filling should be packed in tightly, but there should still be some room for the fish to expand as it cooks.
- To prevent the salmon from drying out, brush it with olive oil before baking. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
- Bake the salmon until it is cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as this will make it dry and tough.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
Conclusion:
Salmon stuffed with goat cheese is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of the rich, flaky salmon and the creamy, tangy goat cheese is sure to impress your guests. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give salmon stuffed with goat cheese a try.
