Goat cheese! What do do with it?

Sautee up some vegetables, smear goat cheese in a wrap/tortilla, add sauteed vegetables, stuff into mouth. Also, sear/grill a chicken breast and throw some goat cheese on top. Dammit, now I'm hungry.

I make something I call Goat Cheese Pasta which is really delicious:

Saute a finely chopped onion and 3 - 8 cloves of garlic (depending on how garlicy you like your sauce)

Add - I can of vegetable broth, I can of Diced tomatoes, and one cup of dry white wine and let the sauce reduce for about 30 minutes (or until the alcohol cooks out of the sauce). Stir in whatever spices you want (I usually use Parsley, Oregano, Basil and Black Pepper).

Throw in a bag of baby spinach and let it wilt for about 5 minutes.

Remove sauce from heat then stir in about a half a log (or more or less according to your taste), the sauce turns pink like a vodka sauce and thickens up.

I usually serve over whole wheat angel hair pasta.

Grilled peaches with goat cheese and a honey drizzle

Beet salad (arugula, sliced almonds, sliced beets) - crumbled goat cheese on top with balsamic

I love to add goat cheese and tomatoes to couscous and eat it hot or refrigerate and eat it like you would a cold pasta salad!

I bake chicken with a light mushroom sauce (half can light cream of mushroom) add some peppers and julienned carrots and turnip and zuchinni on the side and sprinkle the goat cheese on top of the chicken and yumyum!!!

I am such a goat cheese fanatic! I have an entire cook book about goat cheese. There are so many different types you can purchase (goat gouda, goat mozzarella, crumbled goat, goat blue, hard and soft types, etc.) There are tons of recipes out there for both the hard and soft types. (Think mac and cheese with the hard type.) Personally, I love it on salads, on grilled cheeses, with grilled vegetables, and sprinkled on a pizza. One of the easiest things to do is to make crepes for dinner. It only requires your stovetop and microwave really. The recipe below mentions an oven but that's really to keep them warm and caramelize everything a little. Very easy to make!

Grape tomatoes, red onions, walnuts, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper on top of a grilled chicken breast and mixed greens. Topped with goat cheese, of course.

I use it on an egg white pita for breakfast or lunch sometimes. You just put the scrambled egg whites inside the pita and top with goat cheese and roma tomato, with a side of melon...yummy lunch or breakfast for me!

Step 1 - Locate garbage can

Easy to follow plan, good luck! :drinker:

Please don't insist on posting things like this on boards. She's asking for ideas, not opinions. Create an "I Hate Goat Cheese" board if you want.

In all fairness, that IS my idea of what to do with it. I wasn't mean or snarky.

You can make easy lasagna with goat cheese. I prefer Italian chicken sausage, pasta and arrabiata sauce and melt the goat cheese.
