Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups loosely packed mint leaves
3 oz freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts (seasoned and toasted )
1/2 cup olive oil
8 oz appleton creamery plain goat cheese
3/4 cup lightly whipped heavy cream
mint leaf, for garnish

Directions:

For Mint Pesto:.
Combine the mint, parmesan and pine nuts in the food processor and process until finely chopped. With motor running, add olive oil, blending until smooth.
For the goat cheese mousse: Process the goat cheese in the cleaned processor until smooth. Add the whipped cream and blend just until incorporated.
Spoon the pesto in the center of a platter. Place the mousse directly on top of the pesto so that you just see the green pesto oil around the perimeter of the mousse. Serve with fresh bread slices.
