There’s a little wine bar just 10 minutes from the lake cottage that offers an array of amazing appetizers, including this chèvre cheese spread. It’s a warm Goat Cheese Spread covered in crushed pistachios, fig jam and served with crostini.

It’s so incredibly easy to make, yet so memorable! It’s beautiful, flavorful and perfect for just about any occasion.

This Goat Cheese Spread comes together in just 3 minutes hands on time and ** minutes altogether making it the perfect appetizer for parties.

Soft cheese often just feels more elegant to serve to guests because it has such a beautiful texture and presentation. I tend to gravitate toward goat cheese not only for it’s flavor, but because it is often tolerated by those who are dairy free. This Goat Cheese Log is also gluten-free and full of protein.

What is Chèvre Cheese?

Chèvre is French for goat’s cheese. Goat’s milk (and hence, goat cheese) is lower in fat and higher in Vitamin A and potassium than cheese made from cow’s milk. It’s an artisan, flavorful cheese that makes an incredible base for this easy appetizer recipe.

It’s a beautiful addition to a cheese board but also stands alone. The sweet and savory flavors of chèvre cheese paired with salty pistachios and sweet fig jam are out of this world.

You can purchase goat cheese at almost any grocery store. I tend to purchase mine at Trader Joe’s because it’s so inexpensive there.
