Goat/8 recipes

Frittata is easy and versatile to make, and tastes delicious. Had some zucchini and cherry tomato on hand, also having fresh mint and basil leaves growing in the garden. Needless to say, it came out super delicious.

Fresh herbs and creamy goat cheese are stuffed into these fresh baby peppers, roasting develops lots of flavor, and the balsamic glaze adds the extra zing. It can be a tasty appetizer, or can be served with main course.

The honey mustard vinaigrette was so flavorful, toasted butter and sugar coated pecans, dried cranberries and goat cheese were great combination.

A definite summer salad. The honey glazed pecans, goat cheese and balsamic dressing really bring layers of flavors, and all the ingredients are a delicious combination. The dressing and honey pecans both can be made a day ahead.

The goat cheese mellows the pepperiness of the mixed greens, and the beets offer a sweet contrast to its bitter quality. Chopped walnuts add a little more texture to the salad. Tasty!

It's the season of Swiss chard and kale. We got lots of these fresh leafy greens from our CSA farm, and I was trying to come out an idea to use them up, surfing the internet, found a recipe in New York Times, it's a chard and feta phyllo tart. Definitely got the inspiration, I used both chard and kale, instead of feta, I used cheddar; and I sauteed some fresh mushrooms and added some toasted pine nuts, which worked very well. Also, I used a pie plate instead of a tart pan, and it was a great success, absolutely flavorful and delicious. The phyllo crust came out flaky and crispy. Have definitely become one of my signature recipes :)

Family and friends will say wow when you serve this dish. Soufflé's are fairly easy to make, the only trick is getting them to the table before they deflate.

Warm and juicy mushroom filling spiked with goat cheese inside buttery flaky puff pastry.

Make your pasta dishes seem authentic with this spaghetti sauce made of Italian sausage, tomatoes and a variety of spices.

These cherry cream cheese bars were divine. The cream cheese added the rich creaminess; I made my own cherry pie filling, which was packed with cherry flavour and not super sweet, also did a few changes to make these bars healthier (see the linked recipe below) but still decadent.

Asparagus is one of our favorite spring vegetables. In this recipe, roasting develops tons of deliciousness from both asparagus and cherry tomatoes, then tossed with penne, peppery arugula and creamy goat cheese with a light vinaigrette. Yum!

This flavorful bruschetta can be prepared within 5 minutes. Place it over toasted bread slices, then sprinkle some crumbled goat cheese or fresh mozzarella cheese on top. A quick, easy and tasty snack is ready to go!

This prosciutto, fontina and sun-dried tomato tart was brilliant. The combination of these three ingredients and the buttery-crispy puff pastry was absolutely delicious!

Tasty snacks that's quick and easy to prepare when company's coming. Crostini topped with tomato, garlic, herbed goat cheese and fresh basil. Bite sized bits of heaven.
