This recipe is from one of my friends at work who loves anything goat cheese. Ingredients:
2 cups loosely packed mint leaves |
3 ounces freshly grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup pine nuts (seasoned and toasted) |
1/2 cup olive oil |
8 ounces appleton creamery plain goat cheese |
3/4 cup lightly whipped heavy cream |
mint leaf, for garnish |
Directions:
1. For Mint Pesto:.
2. 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.
3. For the goat cheese mousse: Process the goat cheese in the cleaned processor until smooth. Add the whipped cream and blend just until incorporated.
4. 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.
