Rethink the cheese board by mixing together rich and creamy butter with tangy and bright goat cheese. Stirring in a few chopped herbs makes a delicious spread to smear on bread. Serve on a board with veggies, chips and some tinned fish, and you’ve got a beautiful and tasty platter.
At Aperitivo, we have access to some great goat cheese creameries. Use your favorite fresh chèvre for this recipe. It’s a great way to use a half-empty container, or stretch the cheese to feed a crowd.
Adjust the extra mix-in’s to match your season. During the summer, fresh herbs like basil or tarragon. In the winter, use items in your pantry like dried spices and honey.
