A couple of years ago, I posted these amazing Garlic Herb Chicken Wings<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span> inspired by a trip to Florida and a quaint little wood-fired restaurant, Joe Mama\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/span>in Port St. Joe. If you make it that way, do visit Joe Mama\u2019s. We loved everything we tried. I especially loved their goat cheese appetizer, and it inspired this recipe for Herby Baked Goat Cheese.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had the craziest few weeks; I\u2019ve been moving \u2013 a total of three moves (and multiple storage units) in one month. I won\u2019t bore you with details, but with the holidays fast approaching, I pulled this gem out of my drafts and knew it would be a great time to share it!<\/p>\n

About Herby Baked Goat Cheese:<\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t have to be moving to want to find a perfect appetizer during the busy Holiday season! Herby Baked Goat Cheese is a quick ten-minute mix-up made with just a handful of ingredients, and can be mixed up ahead and popped in the oven to be baked off at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n

What comes out of that oven is fragrant and irresistibly spreadable. The tangy goat cheese is mellowed with a touch of cream cheese, while the herbs and spices perfectly complement. There\u2019s garlic and a whisper of cayenne, but the heavy lifters are the chives and parsley; they give a bright, fresh contrast to all the rich creaminess.<\/p>\n

I love that this Herby Baked Goat Cheese plays off as just a little bit rustic with a slight air of sophistication. It\u2019s gonna be right at home no matter the occasion, whether it\u2019s a girl\u2019s night, a casual get-together, a family dinner, or a cocktail party. You may just find yourself making this simple little appetizer over and over.<\/p>\n

Making Herby Baked Goat Cheese:<\/h2>\n

I mentioned quick and easy, right? Soften the cream cheese at room temperature for about an hour, or unwrap and microwave it for a minute. (Sometimes I use the defrost setting for gentle heat.) The goat cheese will be soft enough to mix right from the fridge; don\u2019t sweat the amount if your package isn\u2019t the perfect size.<\/p>\n

Then it\u2019s just a matter of mixing the ingredients in. I like to use a hand mixer first to blend the cream and goat cheeses along with the garlic and cayenne, then mix in the herbs by hand.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have fresh herbs, sub in dried, but use about a quarter of the amount.<\/p>\n

This recipe is super versatile. Play around with it by using different proportions of the cheeses, or add more or less herbs, or sub in different herbs. Just taste as you go along, and it\u2019s hard to go wrong.<\/p>\n
