I’m completely obsessive about this roast cherries and whipped goat’s cheese dip. It makes the proper summer time appetizer to serve with toasted baguette. Thyme, olive oil and balsamic create a flavour-packed sauce to drizzle over the cherries with honey. This recipe comes togehter in 25 minutes with little or no palms on time.
Cherries are fairly savoury flavoured on this dish. The honey drizzled on the finish provides a pop of sweetness it wants towards the tangy goat’s cheese.
You’ll be able to unfold the whipped goat cheese direclty onto the toasted baguette and prime it with the roasted cherries to make scrumptious crostini as I did with my tomato and basil crostini with whipped goat’s cheese.
These kind of easy recipes are precisely what I’m on the lookout for over the festive season and summer time holidays. You’ll be able to see my recipe for whipped feta with roasted tomatoes and garlic recipe.
The best way to make roasted cherries and whipped goat’s cheese dip
- Each the roast cherries and the whipped feta could be made prematurely and plated simply earlier than serving.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and pit the cherries with a cherry pitter or lower them in half and take away the pip.
- In a small baking dish add the cherries and thyme. Drizzle over the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and toss to mix.
- Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes till blistered and beginning to burst. Take away the tray from the oven and take out the thyme stalks. Put aside to chill to room temperature.
- To make the whipped goat’s cheese, add the goat’s cheese/cheese, cream cheese, lemon zest and olive oil to a bowl of a small meals processor or energy blender and whizz for 1- 2 minutes till clean. The size of time this takes will depend upon the equipment.
- To plate up, unfold the whipped goat cheese over the bottom of a flat serving plate (concerning the measurement of a fish plate). Swirl to make grooves over the floor.
- Take away the cooked thyme stalks, and spoon over the roasted cherries and any olive oil/balsamic from the pan.
- Drizzle with honey scatter over the recent thyme and season with a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper.
- To make griddle-fried baguette slices, brush slices of baguette with olive oil and fry in a griddle pan till golden on either side.
