If you’re looking for some easy entertaining ideas, here are 3 super easy ways to dress up your goat cheese. These recipes use only 4 or five ingredients, are super easy to pull together and can be made ahead and stored in the fridge until needed. Just keep them tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and let them come to room temperature before serving.
I almost always have a log or two of goat cheese on hand in my fridge. It’s great to add to salads, to dress up basically any recipes. But simply coating the cheese with some nuts, dried fruit or veggies add flavor and texture and make these little logs look festive too!
