Baked Goat Cheese Salsa Recipes

SALSA BAKED GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until lightly browned and very fragrant, 7-8 minutes should do it.
• Transfer to a medium bowl Add the cheeses to the bowl and combine thoroughly with the nuts.
• Scoop the cheese mixture into the center of a baking dish, such as a decorative 9" pie plate, and form into a 5" disk.
• Spoon te salsa over and around the cheese.
• Bake until heated through, 10-15 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve as a dip or a spread with tortilla chips or other crisps*Note: if the salsa is very chunky, you may want to strain it or chop it in a food processor so the pieces won't fall off the chips.
• Also, really good if the chips are heated!

SALSA-BAKED GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread out the nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until lightly browned and very fragrant, 7 or 8 minutes (the pine nuts will brown quicker than either of the others). Remove and slide them off into a medium-size bowl.
• 2. Add the cheeses to the bowl and combine thoroughly with the nuts. Scoop it in the center of a baking dish (I like to use a decorative 9-inch pie pan) and form it into a 5-inch-diameter disk. Spoon the salsa over and around the cheese. Place the dish in the oven and bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle on the cilantro and set it out for your guests to enjoy as a dip or a spread.

BAKED GOAT'S CHEESE WITH HAZELNUT CRUST & BALSAMIC ONIONS

Steps:

• Halve the goat's cheeses horizontally and mix the nuts with the crumbs. Coat the cheese in the egg, then the nut mixture. Mark the cut side of the cheese with a large piece of nut to show which side up it should be.
• For the onions, heat the oil in a non-stick pan, then add the onions. Stir well and cook for 10 mins until softened and starting to turn golden. Tip in the balsamic vinegar and honey, season and stir over the heat until syrupy. If freezing, open-freeze the cheeses until solid, then wrap individually with cling film and foil. Pack the onions into a freezer bag once cool. To defrost, thaw the onions and warm gently in a pan.
• To cook and serve, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the cheese on a sheet of baking parchment on a baking tray and bake for 20 mins. If you're baking from frozen, add another 5 mins.
• Arrange the salad leaves on plates and spoon the onions on top. Add the goat's cheese, drizzle with any juice from the onions and serve immediately.
