Best 6 Warm Goat Cheese In Phyllo Recipes

BEET AND GOAT CHEESE PHYLLO CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put the beet on a sheet of foil, drizzle with the olive oil and wrap to enclose. Bake until easily pierced with a knife, 60 to 70 minutes. Let cool, then peel and chop.
• Bake the phyllo shells as the label directs. Let cool.
• Pulse the goat cheese and heavy cream in a mini food processor until smooth. Add the chopped beet, honey and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse until very smooth and bright pink, about 1 minute.
• Transfer the beet mixture to a large resealable plastic bag and snip off a corner; pipe into the phyllo shells. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes before serving.

WARM GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Slice the goat cheese into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. Dip each slice into the egg wash and then into the bread crumbs, being sure the cheese is thoroughly coated. Place the slices on a baking rack set on a sheet pan and chill for at least 15 minutes.
• Heat the oil and butter in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the goat cheese slices and cook on both sides until browned on the outside but not melted inside.

GOAT CHEESE TART ON PHYLLO

Steps:

• Remove phyllo dough from package and cover with a dry towel. Using a pastry brush, spread olive oil on 1sheet of dough. Place another sheet on top and brush with more oil. Repeat 3 more times to finish with 5 layers. Cut the dough into 4 equal squares. Place each square on an inverted ramekin on a sheet pan. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 5 to 8 minutes or until golden brown.
• Make the vinaigrette by simply mixing all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
• Cut the 8 ounces of goat cheese into 4 equal parts. Place the goat cheese into the phyllo "cup" and put in a 300 degree oven for about 2 minutes. Remove from oven and place onto a plate. Toss the greens with the vinaigrette and place on top the cheese. Serve immediately.

GOAT CHEESE, CHARD AND HERB PIE IN A PHYLLO CRUST

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you stem and wash the Swiss chard. If the stems are wide and meaty set them aside for another purpose. If they are thin and sinewy, discard. When the water comes to a boil salt generously and add the chard leaves. Fill a bowl with cold water. Blanch the chard for 1 minute, just until tender, and transfer to the bowl of cold water. Drain, take up the chard by the handful and squeeze out excess water. Chop medium-fine. You should have about 1 cup chopped cooked chard.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Blend together the eggs and goat cheese, either in an electric mixer or in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the milk and the garlic and blend until smooth. If using a processor, scrape into a bowl. Stir in the blanched chopped chard, the herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Brush a 9- or 10-inch tart pan or cake pan with olive oil and place on a baking sheet for easier handling. Open up the package of phyllo and unfold the sheets of dough. Remove 8 sheets of phyllo and fold the remaining dough back up. Wrap tightly in plastic, return to the box if you wish and either refrigerate or freeze. Lay a sheet of phyllo in the pan, tucking it into the seam of the pan, with the edges overhanging the rim. Brush it lightly with olive oil (or melted butter and oil) and turn the pan slightly, then place another sheet on top, positioning it so that the edges overlap another section of the pan's rim. Continue to layer in 6 more sheets of phyllo, brushing each one with oil - both the bottom and the sides and edges that overhang the pan -- and staggering them so that the overhang on the rim of the pan is evenly distributed and covers the entire pan.
• Pour the goat cheese and chard filling into the phyllo-lined pan, scraping all of it out of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Scrunch the overhanging phyllo in around the edges of the pan to form an attractive lip. Brush the scrunched rim with olive oil. Place in the oven and bake 40 minutes, until the filling is puffed, set and lightly colored on the surface. Remove from the heat (if it puffed up it will settle) and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

WARM GOAT CHEESE IN PHYLLO WITH BABY GREENS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll the phyllo dough sheets on a flat surface and cover them with a slightly damp towel (if the towel is too wet, the dough will get sticky). Working quickly, so the dough doesn't get dried out, place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a board, lightly brush with melted butter, and lightly sprinkle with bread crumbs. Place a second sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with the melted butter, and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Continue until you have 4 sheets stacked. Cut the sheets in half crosswise to make 2 almost squares.
• 2. Cut one of the goat cheese discs in half horizontally, making 2 thin discs. Place each disc in the center of one phyllo square. Starting at one corner, fold the phyllo up over the cheese and continue folding and pleating the phyllo around the cheese, as though you are wrapping a gift that is tied on top. You will end up with extra phyllo dough on top; twist the excess into a knot on top, to enclose the cheese. Brush the discs all over with melted butter and place them on a sheet pan lined with some parchment paper. Continue with the remaining phyllo dough and 2 goat cheese discs to make an additional 4 packages. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the phyllo dough is lightly browned. All them to cool for 5 minutes.
• 3. While the cheese packages are baking, put the salad greens in a large bowl. Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients, except for the olive oil. Still whisking, slowly add the olive oil, making an emulsion. Toss the salad greens with enough of the vinaigrette to moisten (you won't use all of the vinaigrette).
• 4. Distribute the salad among 6 plates and put one warm goat cheese package in the center of each plate. Sprinkle with slat and pepper and serve. Enjoy!

PHYLLO KNOTS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND SPINACH

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook scallions in oil until soft. Add spinach and reserved liquid; cook until warm. Transfer mixture to a thin kitchen towel or cheesecloth; wring liquid into a bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons liquid, discard the rest. Cool spinach to room temperature.
• Process spinach, reserved spinach liquid, parsley, dill, goat cheese, eggs, and salt and pepper to taste in a food processor until combined.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees.with two racks. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a #2 tip (or a 3/8-inch-diameter coupler) with spinach mixture. Set aside. Place phyllo flat between two damp kitchen towels. Lay another damp kitchen towel on work surface. Place one phyllo sheet on towel (re-cover remaining phyllo to prevent drying). Brush with butter. Place a second sheet on top; brush with butter. Cut phyllo in half lengthwise and then crosswise to make four pieces. Pipe a line of filling across top of each piece, leaving 1 1/4 inches on each end. Roll each piece into a tube starting with top-filling side and rolling down toward you, brushing phyllo with butter. Brush completed tube with butter; gently tie into a loose knot.
• Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush tops with butter. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking. Transfer to cooling racks. Serve warm or at room temperature.
