Goat cheese! What do do with it?

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!

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.

mmm

send it to me. I'll eat all of the goat cheese. All of it.

Devour it

Boil red beets slice into decent sized slices, let them cool and make a goat cheese stack (slice of beet, goat cheese, beet) great app.

Yum!

Slice open and pit some medjool dates (dried or fresh, whichever you prefer), stuff in the cheese and a sliver of almond, wrap in bacon and "bake" in the toaster oven until the bacon is browns...

I also love to spread goat cheese on my bagels instead of cream cheese, and top with toasted fennel, or poppy seeds or chopped nuts.

Boil red beets slice into decent sized slices, let them cool and make a goat cheese stack (slice of beet, goat cheese, beet) great app.

^This is brilliant! I never thought of this, instead I have been eating salads with roasted beets, goat cheese and walnuts with raspberry viniagrette dressing, which I think is heavenly. Having a beet and goat cheese sandwich stack sounds great!

I make variations of quinoa dishes with it. The goat cheese really compliments it. I will make quinoa and saute some shrimp or chicken sausage and spinach with garlic and evoo, then toss together and top with goat cheese.

My favorite way is spread onto a cracker and paired with a glass of red wine. Your welcome.

I get goat cheese crumbles and I put them on everything - curry, chicken, salad, even a bagel (when I ate them). LOVE the stuff
