Today, I am sharing a few of my favorite and most delicious goat cheese recipes. Do you ever use goat cheese in your baking or recipes? As a topping for salad or crackers? Do you have goat cheese in your fridge now? If you run off to check, come right back. I want to tell you how you can use it!

If you don't have any, add it to your grocery list now so you can pick it up the next time you head to the store. My favorite goat cheese brands include MontChevre, Vermont Creamery Goat Cheese, Cypress Grove, and any of the delicious varieties from Trader Joe's or even the Kirkland brand at Costco is great.

If you are nervous about venturing into the world of goat cheese vs. cow cheese. Don't be. It has a distinct tangy flavor but in an oh-so-good way. Goat cheese is soft, spreadable, and creamy. It has a rich flavor compared to cow cheese because of its higher fat content.

Goat cheese is so creamy and tart. It's delicious on bread, crackers, fruits, and veggies. It is diverse and pairs well with savory and sweet flavors. You can eat it warm or cold. I hope you come away with at least one "go-to" recipe you can use, and you never have to worry about goat cheese going bad or sitting in your fridge too long again.

Cheese can be made from all kinds of milk, even almonds, and cashews! Goat cheese is the name given to any cheese made from goat's milk, including cheddar, brie, and gouda. Most recipes I am sharing today use a 6oz log of goat cheese that you can find at any local grocery store.

The versatility of this tangy recipe still has me reeling.

I think this goat cheese log wins for the fastest and most tasty appetizer option. You will need a food processor to mix the nuts, cheese wire to cut slices, and parchment paper so that the nut topping and cheese don't stick to your board. Spread this cheese on bread, crackers, and apple slices. Yummy crunchy goodness.
