Marinated Goat Cheese Spread / Dip

"A decedent spread that wins raves at potlucks and dinner parties. Rich and flavourful, it's perfect served with whole grain crackers or grilled bread. Thanks to my co-worker Melanie for the AWESOME recipe! Note that 1/2 cup of pesto can be substituted for the fresh herbs - it saves time and waste if you don't have a use for the rest of the herbs!"

  1. This was really delicious!! Everyone loved it. My only change was to add some flavoured vinegar I had in the pantry as well as the balsamic (glazed fig). It's the wrong time of year for fresh basil so looking forward to making this again in the summer with the basil.
     
  2. This is excellent and a nice change from the usual cheese spread. The only change I made was to use roasted red peppers instead of sun dried tomatoes. I spread the cheese onto the bottom of a glass pie plate instead of slicing it because it was crumbling when I tried to slice it. I might try some chopped artichoke hearts on it at some point. Everyone loved it.
     
  3. I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, but made this recipe primarily for my other half who managed to consume a good portion of it during an evening with company! I was happy that the other three enjoyed it, too, & it was gone well before our guests were! Can't quibble with that kind of praise, so I now have another keeper of a recipe for my finger food counter! [Tagged, made & reviewed as a recipenap in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 16]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
