Goat Cheese and Herb Fondue
Goat Cheese and Herb Fondue
(Perfect for dinner for two...)
1 1/2 c's cream
2 small garlic cloves
3/4 lb. cream cheese, cut into small pieces
3/4 lb. goat cheese (rindless, soft goat cheese)
1 ½ t lemon juice
1 ½ t minced fresh basil
1 ½ t minced fresh chives
1 ½ t minced fresh tarragon
1 ½ t minced parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat the garlic and cream over medium heat until bubbles appear, but it's not a stiff boil.
Gradually add the cream cheese to the hot cream, stirring to melt in. (Take care to let this part of the project happen slowly. If you let this mixture get too hot the cheese will separate and you'll end up with a separated oil-y mess.)
Once the cheese and cream is smooth, whisk in the goat cheese until smooth. (again, slowly)
Now add the lemon juice and herbs.
Season with s + p.
Transfer the cheese mixture to a fondue pot, chafing dish, or burner with a votive candle to keep warm
Serve with neat-o things for dipping: bread cubes, toasted bread, chicken breast, artichoke hearts, cauliflower florets, or just your fingers.
