Recipe Roundup: Goat Cheese

September 21, 2012 by Julie 37 Comments

Recipe Roundups are a monthly feature that began on Peanut Butter Fingers a few months ago as a way for me to highlight past PBF recipes that may have fallen to the wayside over the course of my three years of blogging.

This month’s recipe roundup was a reader’s request: Goat cheese!

    Nothing beats Goat Cheese! That egg white, spinach, broccoli quiche looks great! I think it would be so good with sautéed onions.

    no lie I have a log of goat cheese in my fridge and was trying to think how I should use it up! I LOVE your goat cheese and honey dip (I make it all the time) but thinking I may make the quiche!

    Great recipes! I think most people just crumble goat cheese on salads. This post really shows it’s versatility as an ingredient.

    Thanks for the recipe ideas! I have never tried goat cheese before but now I am curious. Does it have a stong taste and smell or is it pretty mild??

    I have been obsessed with goat cheese lately! I LOVE putting it on my flatbreads! But I also wrapped some in a chicken breast along with some herbs and wrapped that in bacon! Mmmm! My absolute favorite is putting it on my bruschetta!

    I didn’t realize you had so many goat cheese recipes! They look delicious though, I can’t remember the last time I cooked with goat cheese, but it’s so good!

    ooh i just bought goat cheese a few days ago!! i tried figs & goat cheese (which is okay), and goat cheese on salad (yum), but the best is eating goat cheese alone!! HAHA

    Last night I hosted bunko at my house and one of the things I made was with goat cheese. You just mix it with Dalmatia Fig Spread and serve with crackers. I also put a little of the fig spread on the top, so it would be pretty. Everyone LOVED it!

    I want to try your two ingredient creamy pasta sauce. I think my kids would love it and it is so easy!

    I could eat a log of goat cheese like a candy bar. It is just that good. I LOVE adding goat cheese to my marinara sauce. Just had that for dinner, twice, this past week! Can’t wait to try the rest of these recipes!

    Is goats cheese healthy? I’ve never heard much about it, or is it just like regular cheese and a more moderated food.

    I did goat cheese + Rao’s marinara sauce (fave brand bc of minimal ingredient list) over spaghetti squash the other night and it was so yummy!

    I made the barley risotto this weekend. I got worried when the barley started sticking to the bottom of the pot but the dish came together in the end. It was a big hit.

    I LOVE, seriously LOVE spinach salad with goat cheese, strawberries and balsamic vinegar. I could eat it daily but now I’m pretty jazzed to try some of these recipes too. Thanks!
