Goat cheese. I love it on a cracker, in a salad, on a spoon…
When I see it listed as part of a meal on a dinner menu, I can’t resist. I HAVE to order it, no matter what it is. This cheese has a smooth creamy consistency that lends well to blending with other ingredients. Most of the time, I either enjoy it as a dip or I crumble it onto my salad. Since I love it so much, I thought I’d gather a few different recipes to discover new ways to enjoy my favorite cheese.
Below are some wonderful goat cheese recipes. Enjoy, and please share!

What an amazing resource. Pinned ya!
I have never had goat cheese.
Where does it get its name? This is a great list of recipes. I will need to search for answers and then come back.
I have never tried goat cheese… ever. My Hubs is the cheese eater in our family and I am not sure if he has tried it either. Those recipes using it look delish though.
I’ve Never eaten goat cheese before but these sound yummy.
Oh, these are good, thank you! I’m a huge fan of goat cheese – had some on my chicken with sun-dried tomatoes for lunch today, actually!
OMG! I am literally obsessed with goat cheese. Matt and I love to put it in our salads. Normally we just throw some lettuce, tomatoes, goat cheese and croutons into a big bowl, and then add some dressing. Perfect. A simple salad and the goat cheese is the best part!
These look like terrific recipes. I don’t like goat cheese, or any cheese for that matter. I know I’ve been told all my life there is something wrong with me. Great looking food though.
You’re my new hero because GOAT CHEESE is my favorite cheese on the whole plant. And I do love cheese, even thoughI try to be dairy free whenever I can :)
When it comes to goat cheese, I find I like it with some foods but not others. I have one restaurant that the only dish I will order from it has goat cheese.
I love goat cheese! There are so many great recipes in this collection!
