GOAT CHEESE AND PISTACHIO SPREAD

 

 

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.

 

three 3.5-ounce logs of mild soft goat cheese such as Montrachet

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened

1 large garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup chopped pistachio nuts, toasted lightly and cooled

1/4 cup thinly sliced chives plus chive blades for garnish

1 loaf of French bread, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and toasted lightly

 

In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together the goat cheese, the butter, the

garlic paste, the pistachio nuts, the sliced chives, and salt and pepper to

taste until the mixture is combined well, spoon the spread into a serving dish,

and chill it, its surface covered with plastic wrap, overnight. The spread may

be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Garnish the spread with

the chive blades and serve it with the toasts.

 

Makes about 1 cup.
